Appendix E: Functional Operation Summary

AWG2021 Parallel Operation. When more than two channel outputs are needed, connect as shown below.

￿Simple parallel operation. The SYNC output of the master AWG2021 is connected to the TRIGGER INPUT of the slave AWG2021. Figure E-4 shows a connection example.

Figure E￿4: Connection Example 1

When Sync in the MODE menu is set to Start, a pulse is output at the SYNC output when the trigger is generated. This pulse is used as the trigger for the slave AWG2021. In this case, if there is no external trigger source, manual triggers may be used.

NOTE. Since the sync output is output when the waveform is actually output, it lags somewhat behind the trigger signal.

￿External trigger or gate signals to two AWG2021 instruments. Figure E-5 shows the connection method for applying external trigger or gate signals simultaneously to two AWG2021 instruments. Use BNC 50 W cables of the same length to connect the trigger source to both AWG2021 instruments.
