HD3G7 HD 3 Gb/s SDI Video Generator module
TRIGGER OUTPUT
. Allows you to select a line rate, frame rate, or the module
system clock as a trigger for an external instrument, such as an oscilloscope. (See
page 3-208, HD3G7 module TRIGGER OUTPUT submenu.)
SECONDARY OUTPUT. Use the left (◄)orright(►) arrow button to select
between a Test Signal or a Black output for the secondary (bottom) BNC
connector. (See page 3-208, HD3G7 module SECONDARY OUTPUT submenu.)
