ASYNC ESC CONNECTOR
This connector carries:
An RS232/RS422/RS485 async port for use on either the ESC or Aux channels
An RS232 serial port for log printing & embedded M&C update
An RS422 Station Clock input
The Receive constellation monitor points (if the Monitor/AGC option is fitted)

RX CONSTELLATION MONITOR PORT.
If the Monitor/AGC option is fitted it is possible to view a receive constellation (but not the more traditional
`eye pattern`). To display the receive constellation on an oscilloscope, connect the I and Q signals to the
main X/Y inputs, and apply the receive symbol clock to the external trigger input of the 'scope. The main
'scope inputs should be set to X/Y display, AC coupled, both channels on 200 mV/div, with the trigger from
the external trigger input. See `STANDARD LEAD` on the following page.
DIFFERENTIAL STATION CLOCK
This provides a RS422 compatible station clock in addition to the unbalanced 75

station clock BNC
connector. See the menu dialogue in section 6.7.4 on page 89 For a full description of this port.
