213 Module Des criptio n Block diagram and description Clock Generation The source for a clo ck signal is the 95 MHz crystal oscillator inside th e E1439. This oscillator can free run or be locked to an external reference signal thro ugh the front-panel BNC "Ext Clock/Ref". This signal can b e TTL, ECL, or sine wave. The oscillator can al[...]

216 Module Descr iption Block diagram and description The memory may be configured either in block mo de or in continuous mode. In blo ck mode, data collection initiated by a trigger proceeds until a specified block length i s captured. The measurement is then paused so that the data can be read out. This mode is useful in capturing single tran sie[...]
