Sync Signals of Various Waveforms: 
 
1.  Basic Waveform 
 
1) 
The frequency of the basic waveform is less than or equal to 100kHz or 
the sync delay is not 0: 
The sync signal is a Square with 50% duty cycle and the same frequency 
as that of the basic waveform. When ouputting the first waveform point, 
the sync signal is TTL high level. 
 
2)  The frequency of the basic waveform is greater than 100kHz: 
  Sine and Ramp: the sync signal is a Square with 50% duty cycle. 
  Square and Pulse: the sync signal is a Square with variable duty cycle 
which varies with the duty cycle of the output signal. 
 
Take  0V  voltage (or the DC Offset of the basic 
reference, the sync signal is TTL high level when the corresponding value 
of the output signal is greater than the reference. When the frequency of 
the basic waveform is less than or equal to 30MHz, the sync signal has the 
same frequency as the basic waveform. When the frequency of the basic 
waveform is greater than 30MHz, the frequency of the sync signal is (the 
basic waveform frequency÷2
n
). Wherein, n represents 
dividing coefficient and it is equal to 1 when the frequency of the basic 
waveform is greater than 30MHz and less than or equal to 60MHz. 
 
3)  Noise: there is no sync signal output. 
 
 
2.  Harmonics 
For harmonics, the 
sync signal is a square with 50% duty cycle and the same 
frequency as that of the fundamental waveform. When ouputting the first 
waveform point, the sync signal is TTL high level. 
 
 
3.  Arbitrary Waveform 
For arbitrary waveform, the sync signal is a square with 50% duty cycle and 
the same frequency as that of the arbitrary waveform. When ouputting the 
first waveform point, the sync signal is TTL high level.
