Output channel 1,2 triggered at the same time

Hello.

I want to use pulsepal to send identical pulses to two lasers simultaneously. The lasers are each connected to output channel 1 and 2. Is there a way to do this on a standalone mode?

Thanks!

Hello Eunkyu,

If you set the LinkedToTriggerCh1 and LinkedToTriggerCh2 parameters of the two channels to be identical, they will both respond to the same triggers. If you set all of the other parameters to be identical, they'll generate the same pulse train. If you don't have an external instrument sending a TTL to the trigger channel, you can trigger it manually by selecting <Trigger Now> from the Trigger Channels menu.

I hope this helps,
Josh

Hi Josh. Thanks for the reply. I do not think I understand your instructions.

I currently do not have an extremal instrument sending a TTL to the trigger channel so I am manually selecting <Trigger Now>.

Where can I set the parameters of the Link Trigger 1 and Link Trigger 2? I do see the Link Trigger 1 and Link Trigger 2 menus but I can only select either On or Off. When I do set both menus to be 'On' for both output channels 1 and 2, and select Trigger On, it doesn't seem to trigger both output channels.

Thanks!
