212 Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators User’s GuideBasic Digital Operation (Option 653/655/656/657)Using Waveform Markers7. Enter the number of sample points that you want skipped (in this example, 1):Press # Skipped Points > 1 > Enter.8. Press Apply To Waveform > Return.This causes the marker to occur on everyother point (one sample point is skipped)within the marker point range, as shown atright.How to view markers is described onpage 209.One application of the skipped point feature is the creation of a clock signal as the EVENT output.Viewing a Marker PulseWhen a waveform plays (page 195), you can detect a set and enabled marker’s pulse at the rearpanel event connector/Aux I/O pin that corresponds to that marker number. This exampledemonstrates how to view a marker pulse generated by a waveform segment that has at least onemarker point set (page 210). The process is the same for a waveform sequence.This example uses the factory–supplied segment, SINE_TEST_WFM in the dual ARB Player.Factory–supplied segments have a marker point on the first sample point for all four markers, asshown.1. In the first Arb menu (page 188), press Select Waveform.2. Highlight the SINE_TEST_WFM segment and press Select Waveform.3. Press ARB Off On to On.4. Connect the signal generator’s rear panel Q OUT output to the oscilloscope’s channel 1 input.5. Connect the signal generator’s rear panel EVENT 1 output to the oscilloscope’s channel 2input.Marker points onfirst sample point ofwaveform segmentHow to view markers is described on page 209
