4 - Front Panel Operation

Note that phase synchronization is referenced to an internal phase signal. The output of the unit is normally offset by 0° with respect to this internal reference. Because synchronized transient events always occur with respect to the internal reference, the output will normally be in phase with the value programmed for phase synchronization. (The Phase command can be used to change the offset of the output with respect to the internal phase reference.)
