Frequency Reference Status
When switched to Ext or GPS, one of the following annotations appears in the
lower-left corner of the screen:

—
If the FieldFox does NOT find an appropriate Ext or GPS reference signal, then
Ext Ref UNLOCKED
This can occur when any of the following conditions exist:
— NO reference signal is present.
— A low or very high-level external reference signal is present. For best
— The external reference is off-frequency.

Reference OUT
The internal 10 MHz frequency reference is available from the Ref/Trig output
connector on the right-side panel. Use this signal as a common frequency
reference when making measurements using external equipment. See this
connector in

Variable Voltage Source (Opt. 309)

An internal DC source, available with Opt. 309, may be used to provide power
for external devices. The maximum power available is 8 watts.

IMPORTANT! Noise Figure mode uses DC variable voltage source (VVS) –
(Option 309) during the measurements. The voltage might be as high as
28V during the measurement. During the noise figure measurement,
always make sure there are no voltage sensitive devices connected to the
DC SMB output port. Refer to
356)", on page 585.
When you initially change the FieldFox mode to Noise Figure, the FieldFox
displays the following message for ten seconds:
"Ensure your Noise Source is connected to the VVS DC Output
It (VVS) will be driven up to +28V during the measurement".
