Hi,
I can’t understand how exactly the synchronization output works.
Is it programmable? what relation with programmed waveforms?
I need to program a waveform with may be 100 sin cycles, but one of them is sligtly modified, so I need 100 syncro outs. Is it possible?
Thanks for any advice.
The trigger output in library waveform mode acts in very simple way: It just converts the waveform to square wave. If the voltage of your waveform is above zero then the sync output is +5V and if the voltage is below zero the sync output is 0V. If you have a sequence of 100 cycles of a sine wave you’ll get 100 synchronization output pulses too.
The offset setting doesn’t affect the synchronization output.
Thank very much for yor kind reply.
It was exactly what I needed!
May I suggest to add this info it in the manual?
Hallo,
on operating the PCG10/8016 with option [Peak Offset] it migth happen, that no Sync Output is generated (at least it was the case with mine).
After some fiddeling and reverse engineering, I found the following suitable and well working solution:
Add a Diode in series to the Emitter of T9.
This lowers the Emitter-Voltage of T10 sligtly, enough to make it switch the signal, if the Base Voltage at T10 is not lowering enough beyond 0V - this was the case with my PCG in Peak Offset Mode.
In addition I changed the Collector Resistor R46 from 1K to 2K - this is far enough and keeps T10 working cooler.
cheers

Indeed in the “Auto Offset” and “Peak Offset” modes this may happen.
Thank you for the instructions how to solve the problem.
