Hi,
I am using 33220A signal generator. I want to start a waveform simultaneously at 2 different signal generators. To do this, I first create a waveform and upload it, activate burst mode, set cycle number to infinity and adjust other parameters for both devices. I am doing all of these with PyVisa library. After that, I set one device to BUS trigger mode and other to EXT trigger mode. I also connected 10 MHz out of one device to 10 MHz in of other device along with trigger ports. However, when I trigger first device with BUS trigger command, second one is not triggered infinitely. I suspect that BUS trigger does not generate required trigger waveform. I would be pleased if you can help me clarifying this issue.
Best regards

Hi, If I understand you want to start two generator, one with BUS trigger and other with EXTERNAL Trigger; if you start first generator with BUS trigger, the second will not start because it use the EXT Trigger mode. Generator use only one mode at time.
You choose IMM, EXT or BUS.
Simply use same signal on Trig EXT connectors for both generator and use EXT mode Trigger source.
