Availability:
Obsolete

Starting with firmware release A.06.90, 86100D Compatibility mode is no longer being actively tested and supported.

This module has been obsoleted. The replacement is 86100D with Option PTD or an N1092X with Option LOJ.

Starting with firmware release A.06.90, 86100D Compatibility mode is no longer being actively tested and supported.

The 86107A precision timebase module provides an alternate timebase source for the instrument that, when enabled, greatly improves the instrument's jitter performance and timebase linearity. Use the 86107A only for applications in which a full or sub-rate reference clock that is synchronous to the input signal is available (such as communication measurements). This external reference clock is used instead of an external trigger.

The minimum required 86100-series firmware version for this module is A.03.01.
