selection appears asking for confirmation.
3. Refer to Figure 10-
In this menu, select either a serial, parallel, or parallel interleaved data transmission.

Configuring the Clock Signal

1. Refer to Figure 10-
Figure 10-19 Clock Setup Menu Location
From this softkey menu, set all of the clock parameters that synchronize the data between the
N5102A module and the device. From this menu, the clock signal phase can be changed so the
clock occurs during the valid portion of the data.
If the device or external clock does not match the frequency, one of the following error messages
will appear on the signal generator:
803 Digital module input FIFO overflow error; There are more samples being produced than
can be consumed at the current clock rate. Verify that the digital module clock is set up
properly.
