3.1.1.9. SDRlab 122-16 external clock

This SDRlab version is standard SDRlab 122-16 modified in such a way that the ADC and DAC clock can be provided from an external source clock. External clock should be connected to Ext ADC CLK- and + pins. External clock signal levels should be LVDS in the range from 1 MHz to 122.8 MHz according to ADC spec.

Note

The OS will not boot without providing an external clock.
