Sync Out - of a List Point
The Sync Out check box, available from the Soft Front Panel, is used to
indicate whether or not there is a Sync Out trigger associated with the
currently selected list point. When this check box is selected, an S is
also displayed under the Flags column of the List Dialog Box.
The Sync Out trigger (that can also be used as a marker) is asserted
during dwell time; the value of the dwell time controls how long the
trigger outputs (Sync Out trigger and Trig Out trigger) are asserted.
The Sync Out trigger is produced after each point in the list has settled
if the point has a Sync Out bit enabled. This output trigger can be
directed to the Sync Out connector on the hardware front panel or one
of the eight-shared VXI backplane TTL triggers (TTLTRG0-TTLTRG7)
or both at the same time.

Blanking - of a List Point
The Blanking check box, available from the Soft Front Panel, is used to
indicate whether or not the RF output is being blanked, during the
switch/blanking time, for the currently selected list point. When this
check box is selected, a B is displayed under the Flags column of the
List Dialog Box.
• If the RF output is being blanked, the RF output is turned off during
the switch/blanking time. Although the RF output can be optionally
blanked when changing frequency or power or both, it is always
blanked when the 10 dB step attenuator (Option 1E1) is changed.
• If the RF output is not being blanked, the RF output is turned on
during the switch/blanking time and may be affected by spurious
signals, harmonics, or other glitches.
