Frequently Asked Questions
No, the A-161 is specifically designed as an extension for the A-160 and relies on its clock signals.
The maximum rate is dictated by the A-160's division settings; it's not a standalone clock generator.
No, the outputs are directly derived from the A-160’s divisions and are synchronized; phase shifting requires additional modules.
