GPIB Trigger to turn on Chroma Load and AFG31000 simultaneously

Hello all,

I need to trigger Chroma 63600 series and AFG 31000 together and turn them on simultaneously . How can i do this ? Anyone has any solutions to this . It will be better if it is explained from basics . I am using AFG to give PWM signals (5V pk-pk and 600KHz ) and Chroma load (240ms pulse and repeats at every 1s) . I need to trigger one time , then it will keep on repeating their pattern , but the turn on time needs to be synchronized . 

Your every inputs will help me to grow my knowledge . Please any thing you have , please share . I will try each and every suggestion i will get from you . 

Thanks you all .

 

Regards

Sarada

At a high level, one has to export a trigger, and the other receives it and does something based on the trigger (typically there are trigger terminals on the instruments).

 

Sometimes both instruments support trigger in/out, it would just be a preference.

 

Please share a timing diagram of the signals generated by each instrument and their relationship.
