7. Modes of Operation

Each of the 8 channels can operate in one of the following modes:

Mode Description

FREE RUN The channel delivers pulses continuously according to the programmed

duration and interval times. The channel is independent of the other

channels.

TRAIN Following a trigger, the channel delivers a train of pulses according to

the programmed duration and interval times. The number of pulses per

train is set by ‘M’.

TRIG Following a trigger, the channel delivers a single pulse according to the

programmed delay and duration times.

DC The channel is time independent, you can manually turn it on and off.

GATED Channels 1 and 2 can be externally gated via the EXT1 or EXT2 inputs.

The channel delivers pulses continuously while it is externally gated.

When the external input stops, the channel stops working. A new input

reactivates the channel.

In either TRAIN or TRIG mode you can trigger the channel in the following ways:

1. Manually

2. The internal connections

3. EXT1 (for channel 1 only) EXT2 (for channel 2 only)
