Outputting Waveforms and Editing Sequences
Outputting Waveforms
Turning the Waveform Output ON/OFF «For procedures, see section 6.2»
You can select whether to output waveforms from the output terminals. The relationship
between start/stop of waveform generation and ON/OFF of waveform output is as
follows:
Waveform generation
start condition
Waveform generation
stop condition
Waveform output ON
Waveform output OFF
0V
0V
Outputs only the offset voltage
Outputs waveform data
Outputs 0 V
Outputs 0 V
Starting/Stopping Waveform Generation «For procedures, see section 6.2»
The following two methods are available in starting/stopping waveform generation:
• Start Waveform Generation Using the START/STOP Key
Press the START/STOP key on the front panel once to start waveform generation.
Press the key again to stop.
• Start Waveform Generation on a Start Trigger
Waveform generation start on an external start trigger signal. When you press the
START/STOP key on the front panel, the VB8300 enters the trigger-wait state.
Waveform generation starts on an external start trigger signal that occurs after the
trigger-ready signal is enabled. Press the START/STOP key again to stop waveform
generation.

Trigger-ready signal
A signal provided internally by the VB8300. When the VB8300 is ready to receive trigger
signals, the trigger-ready signal changes from Low level to High level. The trigger-ready
signal is output from the CLOCK READY OUT terminal on the rear panel.
