2. Use suitable cables to connect the RF A/B and REF OUT connectors of the
R&S SMW to the signal analyzer or the DUT.
Upon the receiving of an external trigger event, the R&S SMW starts the signal
generation and then generates a continuous signal. An "Arm" stops the signal gen-
eration. A subsequent trigger event causes a restart of the signal generation.

3.3.4 Enabling and Configuring a Marker Signal
Test setups often require that an external device is synchronized to the generated data
stream. For this purpose, the R&S SMW can output marker signals (or markers) also to
the generated signal. The R&S SMW provides several regular marker signals and
marker signals specific to the firmware option. With suitable marker settings for
instance, you can mark slot or frame boundaries or mark the start of a particular modu-
lation symbol.
This example extends further the configurations performed in Chapter 3.3.2, "Generat-
ing a Digitally Modulated Signal", on page 55. We assume a default connector map-
ping (see Figure 3-13).
