Trigger In; Reference Clock Input; External Modulation Input - Teledyne T3AWG3K Series Operator's Manual

Trigger In

The TRIGGER IN (TRG. IN connector on the front panel) allows to control the signal generation when a
channel is in Burst Run Mode or in Sweep Run Mode. Refer to the chapters about the Device Settings to
know how to define the trigger parameters or the Run Mode. In Continuous and Modulation Run Modes
the Trigger In doesn't have any effects.

Reference Clock Input

When the "Clock Source" is set on "External" in the "Device Settings" page, the internal clock
synthesizer uses the signal from "Reference Clock Input" SMA connector to generate the DAC sampling
clock signal.

External Modulation Input

The T3AWG-3K can accept the modulating signal from an external source, through the External
Modulation Input SMA connectors located on the Rear Panel.
