It is default to receive the frequency meter input
signal. Used to receive a 10MHz clock signal
when the instrument is set to an internal clock
source and Utility → System → CLK Output is
turned o
n; it is used to receive an external
10MHz clock signal when the instrument is set to
an external clock source.

Mod/FSK/Trig
(modulation/trigger
input) connector
When modulating the waveform, outputting the
sweep frequency, and outputting the burst, the
signal accessed here can be used as an
external source.
Note: If one channel turns on AM, FM, PM, PWM or
OSK, and the other channel turns on ASK, FSK,
PSK, sweep or burst, and both channels are set to
external trigger, then the channel that sets the trigger
source can be accessed to external trigger, the other
channel automatically cancels the external trigger
because of the different external modulation signal
types.
Power on
(1) Connect the instrument to an AC power source using the power cord supplied
with the accessory.
