Hello everybody!
I'd like to trigger the 81150A Arb Wav Generator using a 10 MHz sinusoidal signal (from a GPS). The signal to be triggered is an arbitrary signal whose frequency is 196 kHz. I've performed several test but results were not as expected. I'd like to know if what I'm trying to do is possible and if would it be more suitable use the External trigger or the 10 MHz Ref In input.
Thank you in advance.

If you are using a 10 MHz signal as an External Trigger In that triggers a 196 kHz wave then your output will simply be your 196 kHz arb waveform.
Did you want to use the 10 MHz signal from your GPS as a reference clock for the 81150A? The 10 MHz reference in will sync the clocks of your 81150A and your GPS device but it won't trigger your arb waveform.
