Rear Panel: Names and Functions of Parts

1. Handler I/O Port. The terminal to which an automatic machine (handler) used on a production line is connected.
See Handler I/O Port. Connector type: 36-pin Ribbon (Centronics) connector
2. Ethernet Port. A terminal for connecting the E5071C to a LAN (Local Area Network). Connecting this instrument to
a LAN enables you to access the hard disk drive of this instrument from an external PC or to control this instrument by
using SICL-LAN or telnet.
Specification Value
Connector type 8-pin RJ-45 connector
Base standard 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet (automatic data rate selection)
3. External Monitor Output Port (Video). A terminal to which an external color monitor (display device) can be
connected. By connecting a color monitor to this terminal, the same information shown on the LCD screen of the main
body can be displayed on an external color monitor.
Connector type: 15-pin VGA connector, female
4. GPIB Connector. The connection of an external controller through General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB)
connector allows you to configure an automatic measurement system.  This GPIB connector is used only for
controlling the E5071C from an external controller. Use USB/GPIB interface to control other devices from the E5071C.
You cannot control other devices from the E5071C through this GPIB connector.
5. External Trigger Input Port (Ext Trig). A connector to which external trigger signals are input. This connector
detects the downward transition from the HIGH state in TTL signals as the trigger signal. To use this connector to
generate a trigger, you must set the trigger source to "external" (key operation: Trigger > Trigger
Source >  External). Connector type: BNC connector, female
6. Fan. The cooling fan for controlling the temperature inside the E5071C. This fan exhausts heated air from inside
the analyzer to the outside.
7. Line Switch (Always ON). Always keep this switch on (|).
 Do not use this switch to turn off (O) the mains. Doing so may cause the analyzer to fail. For more
information, see the description of the Standby Switch.
8. Power Cable Receptacle (to LINE). The receptacle (outlet) to which the power cable is connected.
 To connect the device to a power source (outlet), use the supplied three-prong power cable with a ground
conductor. The plug attached to the power cable (on the power outlet side or device side of the cable) serves as
the disconnecting device (device that cuts off power supply) of the E5071C. When the power supply must be cut
off to avoid such danger as electric shock, pull out the power cable plug (on the power outlet side or device side
of the cable). For the procedure for turning off the mains in normal use, see the description in Standby Switch.
For more on the power supply, see the Installation Guide.
9. High Stability Frequency Reference Output Port (Ref Oven, Option 1E5 only)
When Option 1E5 (high stability frequency reference) is installed, the reference signal is output from this connector.
Specification Value
Connector type BNC connector, female
Output signal (Typical) 10 MHz ± 1 ppm,  0 dBm minimum
 When Option 1E5 (high stability frequency reference) is installed, connect this connector to the External
Reference Signal Input Connector (Ref In) by using the BNC(m)-BNC(m) cable included with the option.
10. External Reference Signal Input Port (Ref In)
The reference signal input connector for phase-locking the measurement signal from the E5071C to the external
frequency reference signal. Inputting the reference signal to this connector improves the accuracy and frequency
stability of the measurement signal from the E5071C.
 Specification Value
Connector type BNC connector, female
Input signal (Typical) 10 MHz ± 10 ppm, -3 dBm to +10 dBm
 When the frequency reference signal is input to this connector, the measurement signal from the E5071C is
automatically phase-locked to the reference signal. When an input signal is not present, the frequency
reference signal inside the E5071C is automatically used. The ExtRef on the instrument status bar is displayed
in blue when the system is phase-locked to the external reference signal and in gray when not phase-locked.

When using Option 1E5 (high stability frequency reference), connect this connector to the High Stability
Frequency Reference Output Connector (Ref Oven, Option 1E5 only) by using the BNC(m)-BNC(m) cable
included with the option.
11. Internal Reference Signal Output Port (Ref Out)
A connector for outputting the internal frequency reference signal from the E5071C. By connecting this output
connector to the external reference signal input connector of another device, the device can be phase-locked to the
internal reference signal of the E5071C and used under this condition.
Specification Value
Connector type BNC connector, female
Output signal (Typical) 10 MHz ± 5 ppm, 0 dBm ± 3 dBm
Output impedance (Typical) 50 ohm
12. Serial Number Plate. The label showing the product number, serial number and the installed option number.
The accessary and system rack options are not listed on this label. (CFGxxx or ATOxxx in the first line is for Keysight
Use Only.)

13. Certificate of Authenticity Label. The label showing the information of the Certificate of Authenticity of
Windows.
14. Rear USB Port. Four USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports are provided that can be used for connecting to  ECal
(Electronic Calibration) module, USB, Multiport test set or a printer. Connecting a designated ECal module to this port
enables ECal measurements to be taken. Connecting a compatible printer to this port enables screen information on
the E5071C to be printed.
 The specifications of this port are identical to the Front USB Port.
15. USB (USBTMC) Interface Port. Through this port, you can control the E5071C from external controllers. For
more information on the measurement system using the USB port, see the USB Remote Control System.
Specification Value
Connector type Universal serial bus (USB) jack, type B (4 contact positions), Female
Compliance Standards USBTMC-USB488 and USB2.0
16. External Trigger Output Port. The External Trigger Output Port can output the pulse with the specified polarity
either before or after the measurement of each point.
