• Using MINimum or MAXimum to specify this frequency is not recommended
unless the external reference frequency is 20 kHz (MINimum) or 20 MHz
(MAXimum). In order for the digitizer processor to produce the intended sample
rates, the exact frequency value must be specified.

Example Specifying the external reference oscillator frequency
SENS:ROSC:EXT:FREQ 5 MHZ External oscillator is 5 MHz
:SOURce
[SENSe[<chan>]]:ROSCillator:SOURce <source> selects the reference oscillator
source. The available sources are:
• CLK10: The VXIbus CLK10 (10 MHz) line.
• ECLTrg0: The VXIbus ECLTRG0 line.
• ECLTrg1: The VXIbus ECLTRG1 line.
• EXTernal2: The HP E1429’s front panel "Ext 2" BNC.
• INTernal: The internal 20 MHz oscillator.
