Operation Modes |
INTERNAL |
Internal reference signal is used for operation. (INT mode) |
AUTO (GO INTERNAL) |
The EXT is automatically selected when the external reference signal is applied to the GENLOCK input. The INT mode is automatically selected when the external reference signal is removed. |
MANUAL (GO INT) |
The EXT mode is automatically selected when the external reference signal with the same format specified to the GENLOCK input is applied after power is turned on. The INT mode is automatically selected when no external reference signal is applied to the GENLOCK input or signal format does not match the specified format. |
AUTO (STAYinSYNC) |
The EXT mode is automatically selected when the external reference signal is applied to the GENLOCK input after power is turned on. If the external reference signal is accidentally removed during operation, the instrument continues operation under the conditions immediately before the signal is removed since STAYinSYNC mode is provided. After the external reference signal is recovered, the system is automatically locked. |
MANUAL (STAYinSYNC) |
The EXT mode is automatically selected when the external reference signal with the same format specified to the GENLOCK input is applied after power is turned on. If the external reference signal is accidentally removed during operation, the instrument continues operation under the conditions immediately before the signal is removed since STAYinSYNC mode is provided. The STAYinSYNC mode will be held until the reset operation is performed via the front panel even after the external reference signal is recovered. |
