Agilent Technologies E1441A user service sync signal, you can disable the Sync terminal

sync signal, you can disable the Sync terminal.

By default, the sync signal is routed to the Sync terminal (enabled).

When the sync signal is disabled, the output level on the Sync terminal is indeterminate (it might be a TTL “high” or a TTL “low”).

For sine, square, triangle, and ramp waveforms, the sync signal is a TTL “high” when the waveform's output is positive, relative to zero volts (or the dc offset value). The signal is a TTL “low” when the output is negative, relative to zero volts (or the dc offset value).

For arbitrary waveforms, a momentary TTL “high” pulse (> 200 ns) is output which corresponds to the first downloaded point in the waveform.

For AM and FM, the sync signal is referenced to the modulating signal (not the carrier). A momentary TTL “high” pulse (> 200 ns) is output at each zero-crossing point of the modulating signal.

For the counted burst mode, a TTL “low” signal is output while the specified number of cycles is output (for the duration of the burst). After the specified number of cycles has been output, the sync signal goes “high” until the next burst.

For the external gated burst mode, the sync signal is a TTL “high” when the output is positive, relative to zero volts (or the dc offset value). The signal is a TTL “low” when the output is negative, relative to zero volts (or the dc offset value).

For FSK, a momentary TTL “high” pulse (> 200 ns) is output on the transition to the “hop” frequency.

For frequency sweeps, the sync signal is a TTL “low” at the start of the sweep (when the start frequency is output) and is a TTL “high” at the end of the sweep (when the stop frequency is output).

Use the following command to set the SYNC signal mode:

Instrument State Storage You can store up to four different instrument states in non-volatile memory. This enables you to recall the entire instrument configuration using the *RCL common command.

Four memory locations (numbered 0, 1, 2, and 3) are available to store instrument configurations. The state storage feature “remembers” the function (including arbitrary waveforms), frequency, amplitude, dc offset, duty cycle, as well as any modulation parameters. To recall a stored state, you must use the same memory location used previously to store the state. The instrument state in memory location 0 can become the "*RST" or power-up state by setting MEMory:STATe:RECall:AUTO ON. See reference for this command on page 85

You cannot recall the instrument state from a memory location that was not
