Description
Remote Head Control. This output provides power and control signals for the
remote head amplifier
Data outputs 1.85 mm
The Sync In/OUT usage depends on whether the M8199A is connected to the
M8008A clock module or whether it is driven by an external clock source.
The Sync Out connector is reserved for future use.
M8199A connected to M8008A clock source:
The Sync Out A/B is not used.
The Sync In is used to synchronize multiple modules to a common system clock.
It is connected to one of the Sync Out outputs of the M8008A module.
AWG clock input (half-rate). Connect to clock output of M8008A clock
generator module.
Differential Marker output to mark individual data samples. Max output
bandwidth 16 GHz.
Marker output to generate subrate clocks for example. Max output bandwidth
2 GHz.
The M8199A AWG is controlled by the M8070B software system version
7.5 and above, which includes a free version of a MATLAB-based utility
named 'IQTools'. IQTools provides a large number of utilities to generate
waveforms along with an option to download user-defined waveforms. The
IQtools utility also supports "in-system calibration" to measure and
compensate the frequency and phase response of the AWG and any
external circuitry. It can compensate skew between all channels. When
using the ILV-option, IQTools additionally provides an automated skew
calibration to optimize system performance.
