-\subsection x3x0_hw_x3x0_hw_ref10M Ref Clock - 10 MHz
+\subsection x3x0_hw_x3x0_hw_ref10M Ref Clock (10 MHz or other frequency)
Using an external 10 MHz reference clock, a square wave will offer the best phase
noise performance, but a sinusoid is acceptable.
The power level of the reference clock must exceed +15 dBm.
+The following reference frequencies are supported:
+- 10 MHz
+- 11.52 MHz
+- 23.04 MHz
+- 30.72 MHz
+
+If the external reference clock is not 10 MHz, the `system_ref_rate` device arg
+must be provided.
+
To use the external reference in your UHD session, make sure to either call
uhd::usrp::multi_usrp::set_clock_source() or specify `clock_source=external` in
your device args.
