5.5 Auto Sync for Autocreating Trigger Pulses

If you want to synchronize other devices with the stimulus generator STG3008-FA, you have
to set up the digital output of the Sync Out channel in synchrony to the stimulus pulses. This
may sometimes be a bit tricky and time consuming, especially for complex stimulus protocols.

The Auto Sync feature is intended for making the work with MC_Stimulus II more efficient:
Digital Sync Out TTL pulses synchronous to stimulus pulses are generated automatically by this
feature. Each time an analog channel generates a pulse (that is, its value is not equal to zero),
the logical state of the Sync Out channel is set to HIGH (=1). You can set the time offset of the
TTL's rising edge before the stimulus pulse and of the TTL's falling edge after the pulse. If you
change the stimulus protocol, corresponding Auto Sync pulses are updated on the fly.

On the Edit menu, click Auto Sync Settings. The Auto Sync Settings dialog box appears.

1. Assign the analog stimulus channels that will be used as the basis for autocreating the protocols

on the Sync Out channel. For example, if you use only stimulus channel 1, select Ch1 in Sync1.

2. Set the time offset of the TTL’s rising edge before the stimulus pulse (Pre Time) and of the TTL’s

falling edge after the pulse (Post Time)
