First designed as an optional upgrade accessory for the DS Instruments integrated-LO microwave mixers, the FRXO100 provides an extremely stable reference clock for nearly any type of RF equipment. Not only does it provide four 10MHz outputs, the FRXO also provides two ultra-low-noise 100MHz clock outputs, and a programmable divided output between 0.1 and 50MHz.
Industry standard SCPI commands allow the FRXO100 to be controlled by any host system with a USB interface. The USB port is configured as a virtual COM port allowing user software to access change settings on the reference source and monitor status easily and without additional drivers.
