1588 LED
The IEEE 1588 LED clock status has the following states:
COHERENT CARRIERS
3-7 GHz 1st LO In Provides the 1st LO input signal (3 to 7 GHz) to the downconverters
internal LO distribution circuitry.
3-7 GHz 1st LO Out Provides the 1st LO output signal (3-7 GHz at +15 dBm max) as a
coherent carrier reference for phase locking two receivers.
3.6 GHz 2nd LO In Provides the 2st LO input signal (3.6 GHz) to the downconverters
internal LO distribution circuitry.
3.6 GHz 2nd LO Out Provides the 2nd LO output signal (3.6 GHz at +3 dBm) as a
coherent carrier reference for phase locking two receivers.

Do not remove the cables connecting the coherent carrier inputs and outputs. These cables
are connected at the factory and must remain so for proper instrument operation.
