MARKER OUT connectors
Outputs marker signals. Each channel is
equipped with two MARKER OUT connectors.
If you use only one output connector for each
marker, you must terminate the other
connector using a SMA termination.

repeatedly.
Output connectors
Provides normal (CH1) and inverted
(CH1
) waveforms.
The maximum output level is 2 V
p-p
into a 50 Ω load in Normal mode,
and 1 V
p-p
into a 50 Ω load in Direct
mode and option02. If you use only
one output connector, you must
terminate the other connector using
a 50 Ω termination.
PANEL LOCK LED indicator
The LED indicator is on when the front panel
control is locked. You can lock the front panel
controls only through GPIB interface.
HDD LED indicator
The LED indicator is on when the disk drive is in operation.
CAUTION
To prevent loss of data and/or damage to the hard
drive, before the power off, be sure to confirm the
floppy disk or hard drive LED is not on or blinking.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the instrument, do not apply the
voltage to OUTPUT or MARKER connectors.
Bottom and side
