Channel synchronization (from firmware 10)

Channel synchronization (from firmware10)

From EL2502 FW10 a setting is available in the CoE that makes the output of channel 2 directly dependent on the settings of channel 1.

Channel synchronization (from firmware 10) 1:
CoE setting for synchronization

Function:

  • No: no dependence of channel 2 on channel 1
  • Ch2 = Ch1: Frequency and duty factor of channel 1 are also applied to channel 2.
    The phase angle is 0, i.e. the rising/falling edges of channels 1 and 2 arrive at the same time and channel 2 outputs the same as channel 1.
  • Ch2 = Ch1 inverted: Frequency and duty factor of channel 1 are also applied to channel 2, but the duty factor is inverted.
    The phase angle is 0, i.e. a rising edge of channel 1 arrives at the same time as a falling edge of channel 2 etc.

Notes

  • The ChannelSynchronisation setting is also present in channel 2, but has no effect there or rather is not to be used.
  • On activating or deactivating the function in the CoE, an invalid phase angle briefly occurs (naturally) on channel 2.
Channel synchronization (from firmware 10) 2:
Oscilloscope recording at the moment of synchronization

Example: As soon as “Ch2 = Ch1” is activated (visualized here for triggering the oscilloscope by the additional channel Trig) there is a brief pause on channel 2 until the synchronization takes effect.
