Signal", on page 44 by the configuration of the required trigger signal and con-
nector settings.
This test setup requires one signal analyzer, like the R&S
equipment.
To start the signal generation synchronous to an external global trigger sig-
nal
The configuration requires three main steps with the following goals:
1. Observe the current connector configuration. Define an input connector for the
external global trigger signal.
See "To verify the current connector configuration"
2. Configure the baseband to use this external global trigger signal as trigger
source.
See "To reconfigure the trigger settings"
3. Connect the instrument and the external trigger source.
See "To connect the instrument and the external trigger source"
To verify the current connector configuration
The R&S SMM100A is equipped with multipurpose bi-directional User connec-
tors. Because the signal direction, input or output, and the signal mapping are
configurable, we recommend that you check the current configuration before
cabling or further instrument's configurations.
1. To display an overview of the current mapping of the logical signals to the con-
nectors, perform one of the following:
● In the block diagram, select the Trigger/Marker/Clock status LEDs on the
left side of the "Baseband" block.
● Select "Baseband > Trigger Marker Clock".
