Ok thanks for your help!
This is what I feared is that I'd require a amp. Hopefully I can find one with response times in the 500+GHz range also or else I'll need to decrease my acquisition frequency.
Trigger output is used to trigger other systems. I'm using it to trigger my DAQ card (Below) and the microcontroler.
TRIG IN (External Trigger) Input
Input impedance 50 Ω
Coupling DC only
Bandwidth (-3dB) DC - 250 MHz
Input range ±3 V
DC accuracy ±10% of full scale input
Input...
You are looking at the output. Yes the output can go up to 10v p-p. I'm using the sync output as the output is used to output the function I want the Acquisition card to sync to.
The Agilant fn Generator has:
BNC Output (Used)
BNC Sync (Trigger out-What I am having difficulties with)

I'm using a 500MHz aquisition rate on my DAQ.
berkeman, I found this on my microcontroler
V_CC 5.0
V_OH 4.2
V_IH 3.25
V_IL 1.75
V_OL 0.5
Gnd 0
**V_OH 4.2, not 5.2
What is "vih"? I suppose you are referring to the logical HIGH and logical LOW values that the micro controller uses?
Also, I can't change the signal source, the Agilent function generator is fixed. (can't change the impedance, nor the voltage)
I can't change the impedance of the DAQ card...
Yes I have. I sent my oscilloscope to high impedance, and I notice that when I plug the trigger line into my DAQ card the trigger signal gets reduced SIGNIFICATLY.
It drops down from about 4.11 V (peak to peak) to 2.77 V.
Electromagnets scale better then neodymium.
For small quantities, I would say go for neodymium.
Anything past 1lb or so, I would use electromagnets with a iron core.
Also, electromagnets aren't limited by the voltage, but rather the current (as its essentially a short circuit)
I've used...
Hey guys,
I’m trying to do a simple experiment where both my DAQ (Data AcQuisition) card and my microcontroller trigger off the same signal.
The trigger source is from the Agilent 33210A which is a 50 Ohm impedance output.
From that source, I have connected it to both the AlazarTech DAQ...
