A.3 New Connectors' Concept
The R&S SMW introduced new connectors' concept.
●
The R&S SMU uses a static routing of the control signals and dedicated connec-
tors. For example, the "Marker 1" signal of "Baseband A" is output at the MARKER
1 connector.
In R&S SMW, however, the signal to connector mapping is not dedicated. You
define the connector at which the "Marker 1" signal of "Baseband A" is output.
●
The R&S SMW distinguishes between shared and local connectors:
– the globally shared connectors (USER X)
– the local connectors of the modulation coders (T/M/C)
●
The signal to connector mapping requires two major steps:
– Defining the signal
– Defining the connector
For example, in the dialog of a digital standard, select the "Marker" tab and define
the marker pattern.
In the "Marker" tab, select the "Local/Global Connector Setting" and define the con-
nector.
For details, see the configuration examples in Chapter 2.3, "Trying Out the Instru-
ment", on page 66.
In the default state, the signal to connector mapping in R&S SMW repeats the one you
are familiar with. Consider the following comparison between the R&S SMW and the
R&S SMU connectors.
