WaveStation 3000 Function and Arbitrary Waveform Generator

Using Sync Out

All standard output functions (except DC and Noise) have a corresponding Sync signal that can be sent
through the Sync Out connector on the back panel. This is useful for synchronizing different devices to the
occurrence of a particular waveform event.

Waveform Type

Sync Signal Reference

Non-modulated

carrier signal

AM, FM, and PM Modulated
(internal modulation source)

modulated signal

ASK and FSK Modulated

keying frequency

Sweep

TTL level high (at start), then at a frequency equal to the sweep time

Burst

level high (at start)

External Gated Burst

external gated signal

Pulse

pulse signal with a fixed positive pulse width more than 50 ns

NOTE: If an output waveform is inverted, the corresponding Sync signal does not also invert.

To enable/disable the Sync signal output:

1. Press the Utility function button.

2. Press the Sync softkey.

3. Press the State softkey until On or Off appears.

4. Select the Channel to use as the Sync reference.

5. Press Done.

When the Sync signal is disabled, the output voltage of the [Sync] connector is set to low level.
