  External Gate 
In external gate mode, the RF signal generator receives the external gated 
signal input from the [TRIGGER IN] connector at the rear panel. The 
instrument starts a pulse modulation within the valid level range each time a 
gated signal with the specified polarity is received (as shown in the figure 
below). To specify the polarity of the external gated signal, press Gate Polar to 
select "Normal" or "Inverse" and the default is "Normal".

  Key Trigger 
In key trigger mode, the instrument starts a pulse modulation each time Key 
Trig is pressed. 
 
  Bus Trigger 
In bus trigger mode, the instrument starts a pulse modulation each time the 
"*TRG" command is sent. 
 
Note: When "Ext" modulation source is selected, the above-mentioned menus are 
grayed out and disabled. 
 
 
Pulse Output 
 
Press Source to select "Int" modulation source; press Pulse Out to select "On" or 
"Off". 
  On: turn on the pulse output function. At this point, the RF signal generator can 
output the pulse signal generated by the internal pulse generator from the 
[PULSE IN/OUT] connector at the rear panel. Note that this output signal is 
related to the pulse Mode setting.
