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.
