An external signal at the rear input triggers the sweep in the EXT-SINGLE and EXT-STEP operating
modes. The polarity of the active trigger edge can be set in menu UTILITIES - AUX I/O EXT TRIG
SLOPE .
2.8.5 Sweep Outputs
Outputs X-AXIS, BLANK and MARKER are available at the rear of the instrument to control and trigger
oscilloscopes or XY recorders.
X-AXIS
With sweep switched on, this output supplies a voltage ramp of 0 to 10 V for the X-
deflection of an oscilloscope or an XY recorder.
BLANK
This output supplies a signal (0V/5V) to trigger and blank an oscilloscope or for the
PEN LIFT control of an XY recorder. The polarity and the period of the signal can be
set under UTILITIES - AUX I/O - BLANK POLARITY and - BLANK TIME.
