FYI, I have Goggled the heck out of this and can't find any answers. Maybe I do t understand how the syncing two function generators work
I have two generators, one new, one old
I took the "sync" output from the old HP to the "reference" input on the new fluke/philips generator.
My understanding is that the hp sync provides a pulse length relative to the gens frequency, and feeds it to the 2nd gen to use as its internal reference.
When I put both 1k (same amplitude) signals into oscilloscope, it seems to me the two signals should be in sync and not walking but depending on which signal is triggered on oscilloscope the other is walking.
Maybe I should add that all I'm trying to produce quadrature signals to do is draw a lissijous circle on xy. I get the signals close enough so that I have a circle briefly
Thanks in advance
