2.4 SYNC Input

In category 1 and 2 phase synchronization, the timing of the SYNC signal is not critical. This SYNC signal can be generated from the Reference Pro board. In category 3 phase synchronization, the SYNC signal has to be carefully aligned with the reference clock of the synthesizers. This SYNC signal shall be provided externally to the SYNC SMA connector.
