Operator's Manual Simple AFG Application

External Modulation Input Connector

The T3AWG-3K has an input connector to receive an external analog signal that is used as modulating
source. When the selected Run Mode is "Modulation" and the source is "External" the instrument will
use this signal to modulate the carrier waveform.
For the specification, please refer to the Auxiliary Channels section.
The connector type is a SMA.

Reference Clock Input Connector

The T3AWG-3K can use an external clock source to generate the sampling clock frequency.
This feature allows to synchronize the generator with an external clock.
The connector type is a SMA.

Reference Clock Output Connector

This connector outputs the internal 10MHz reference clock used to synthesize the DAC sampling clock. If
the clock source is internal it produces a signal at 10 MHz, if the source is external it is disabled.
The connector type is a SMA.

Digital Output connector

Important Note: this connector is not used by AFG application.

Sync In / Sync Out Connectors (T3AWG3358/3258 only)

The purpose of those connectors is to connect and synchronize together multiple instruments: up to 4
instruments can be linked together.
Those connectors are available on T3AWG3358/T3AWG3258 models only.
