BASIC PULSE CONTROL

This instrument can be triggered by its own internal clock or by an external TTL trigger
signal. In either case, two output channels respond to the trigger: OUT and SYNC.
 OUT. This is the main output.
 SYNC. The SYNC pulse is a fixed-width TTL-level reference pulse used to
trigger oscilloscopes or other measurement systems. When the delay is set to a
positive value the SYNC pulse precedes the OUT pulse. When the delay is set to
a negative value the SYNC pulse follows the OUT pulse.
These pulses are illustrated below, assuming internal triggering and a positive delay:
SYNC OUT
(generated by the
internal oscillator)
MAIN OUTPUT
If the delay is negative, the order of the SYNC and OUT pulses is reversed:
SYNC OUT
(generated by the
internal oscillator)
MAIN OUTPUT
