Phase Ref Free-Run. With no external trigger to the DSA8300 mainframe needed, the 82A04B module can, together with the mainframe, create a timebase based on the phase of the reference clock. (Effectively, the timebase of the instrument functions as a “Phase-base” instead). The signal displayed on the screen will therefore repeat after one period of the reference clock.
