button to toggle between Sync and ASync.
Strobe. You can set the instrument to enable or disable strobing in the EVENT
IN signals. Event signals must be input to the EVENT IN connector on the rear
panel when you run the sequence in Enhanced mode. You can input four event
signals and one strobe signal in the connector.
When Strobe is set to Off, the instrument reads the event signals at the timing of
every two internal clock cycles, and updates the event value if a state transition
in the event signals are found.
When Strobe is set to On, the instrument reads the event signals when the strobe
signal goes to low state (Enable), and updates the event value if a state transition
in the event signals are found.
If you set the strobe signal to low state after all the event signals have finished
the state transitions and have been in stable period, the instrument can read the
event signal state without error. This prevents an incorrect action in the AWG610
Arbitrary Waveform Generator sequence control. Figure 3–28 illustrates an
signal timing example.
To enable or disable Strobe functionality in the Event Jump screen, push the
Strobe side menu button to toggle between On and Off. The strobe setting is
saved in the sequence file as an attribute, and used when the sequence is
executed. You cannot change this setting while a sequence is being performed.
