What is the sync signal on a waveform generator?
A second output, sometimes called “sync”, “aux” or “TTL” produces a square wave with standard 0 and 5 volt digital signal levels. It is used for synchronizing another device (such as an oscilloscope) to the possibly variable main output signal.
Why synchronization is necessary in waveform generator?
Why is Generator Synchronization Needed? A generator cannot deliver power to an electrical power system unless all the aforementioned parameters exactly match those of the network. The need for synchronization arises when two or more alternators work together to supply the power to the load.
How do you time synchronize multiple function generators together?
To time synchronize all four channels, use the Burst mode (Figure 5). Button presses: Go to all 4 channels, Select Burst > N Cycle > # Cycle > Infinite. Turn on Burst for all four channels. You will be prompted by a blinking light on the Trigger button of your Channel 1 on your first function generator.
What is sync out in an function generator?
A Sync Output is provided on the front-panel Sync output connector on most function generators. All of the standard output functions (except dc and noise) have an associated Sync signal. For certain applications where you may not want to output the Sync signal, you can disable the Sync connector.
