Page 34: To Set The Sync Output
Note: AWG-4151 has a fixed 50Ω Series Impendence. No matter what Value the set parameter is, if the real load is different from the set one, the displayed voltage will not equal the real voltage. To Set the Sync Output The Generator provides Sync output through the Sync output terminal on the Front Panel. -
Page 35: To Set The Dc Output
For the Burst, when the burst starts, the Sync Signal is Level High. At the specific point when the Cycle Number ends, the Sync Signal turns Level Low (If the Waveform has a relative starting phase, it may be not zero intersections). For an infinite burst, the Sync Signal is the same with the Sync Signal of the continuous Signal. -
