118 Chapter 14 Using Special Sync Output
The generator is equipped with a Special Sync BNC connector on the rear of the
generator labeled SPECIAL. You can configure the output of this video interface to output
frame sync, line sync, composite sync or a special probe pulse.
The probe feature is used with a programmable probe pulse that is available on the
Special Sync BNC connector. This pulse is most often used to trigger an oscilloscope or
synchronize an inspection camera. The probe feature allows you to position the leading
edge of the probe pulse anywhere within the video frame. This feature greatly facilitates
troubleshooting by enabling you to focus on specific video signal problems occurring
anywhere in the video signal.
