Names and Functions of Parts on the Rear Panel

3. External monitor output terminal (VIDEO)

Connector type: 15-pin VGA connector
This terminal is used for connecting to an external color monitor (display unit). Connection
of a color monitor through this terminal permits the same information shown on the
4287A's LCD display to be displayed on the external monitor.

4. LAN port

*1
Connector type: RJ-45J UTP LAN connector
This port is used for connecting the 4287A to a LAN (Local Area Network). For how to
use LAN features, see the Programming Manual.

5. GPIB connector

This is a GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) connector. Use together with the GPIB
adapter. You can build an automatic measurement system by connecting the external
controller and other equipment through this connector. For how to use GPIB-based
automatic measurement, see the Programming Manual.

6. Handler interface

This interface is used for exchanging data with automatic equipment (handler) in a
production line.

7. External reference signal input terminal (Ext Ref In, 10 MHz 0 dBm)

Connector type: BNC connector (female)
This is a signal input terminal for phase-locking the 4287A test signal to an external
frequency reference signal. You can improve the accuracy of the 4287A test signal
frequency by inputting an external frequency reference signal to this terminal.
Accordingly, the 4287A test signal becomes automatically phase-locked to its reference
signal. If signal input is discontinued, the 4287A internal frequency reference signal is
automatically used.

8. Internal reference signal output terminal (Int Ref Out)

Connector type: BNC connector (female)
This is an internal reference signal output terminal for the 4287A.
If you connect between this output terminal and an external reference signal input terminal
of other equipment, you can use the external equipment by phase-locking with the 4287A
reference signal.

9. Mouse port (MOUSE)

This port is for connection of a PS/2 compatible mouse with a Mini-DIN connector. Use of
the mouse allows you to freely move the arrow cursor on the 4287A LCD display and to
*1. Unshielded Twisted Pair
