Siglent SSG3000X and SSG5000X series RF Signal generators
markus_jlrb:
One more thought on this issue.
Could it be that the two coax connectors provide only a I/Q clock and the I/Q data is
transferred via the parallel pin header interface from the I/Q board to the main board?
Just an idea, not sure if reasonably.

Sorry for being blunt, but do your homework! There have been more than enough hints where to look. It appears to me that you have no clue of the basic operation of this RF signal generator and you als don't want to learn.
Again: There is no I/Q related circuitry on the SSG3kX's mainboard, period! All that the two SMB sockets provide is a switched extension path to splice in an external (additional board) I/Q modulator. You should really read some basics about RF signal generation and (complex) modulation approaches. I'm not an expert on this subject myself but I learned what I know about it by reading publications and datasheets as an autodidact. I know my limits and I'm not ashamed to admit them. It takes time to educate yourself but posting nonsense here time and time again won't get you nowhere. If you think you can magically improve the existing SSG by arbitrarily connecting some signals to its internal extension ports, do it and show us the results. Otherwise, it may be a good idea to learn from others' hints and tips and first introduce yourself to the theory.
Once again, sorry for my rather "direct" approach but in some way or the other, you provoked this. No offense meant.
All the best,
Thomas

I'm too stupid for that... ;)
As far as the IQ-E thing is concerned:
I have now asked directly and will post the answer here.

Yup, it's pretty clear which models are IQE capable as it's not an option but a different unit at a higher price.
Just need to scroll down the webpage.
