Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
I wonder how Chinese new year will effect the progress on this. I know some of the manufactures in Taiwan are going to be completely shut down over the course of a week.
Super awesome if they are able to get this to work.
If this unit can trigger bother CH.1 and CH.2 outputs from a SCPI command.... AND.....have a DC pulse with a set width come out of the output on the back....Nothing even holds a candle to this within this frequency range (IMO). And the guys in Ohio who came out to my lab, if they can demonstrate this functionality, it would be a huge selling point.
Also, if the salesmen in Ohio had a labtop they could hook up to this sig-gen with an awesome LabVIEW VI and/or MatLAB interface to demonstate this, I think it would catch potential buyer's attention even moreso.....is siglent Ohio hiring? I feel like I could sell these things to those who are program savvy and could realize the value this sig gen brings. I think its incredible, and with another firmware update, would bring shame upon anything else in the market within this range of frequency.
Can you try this:
Set the parameters and then OUTP to OFF, then *WAI (wait) followed by OUTP 's to ON
Is this a valid "workaround" solution ?
Is the VKEY command also of use to trigger both outputs ?
Commands from the Siglent SCPI manual:

DC pulse with a set width come out of the output on the back
Can you offer a usage case please ?
I didn't see anything in the vkey command that eluded to simulating the pressing of the manual trigger button. But that should do the trick.
The attached picture shows in theory what I'd like to do with SDG2042X, I'm not sure if I did this with the most recent update. Here we can see two different signals with two different frequencies offset with some time difference from the start of the burst.
Also, I would be using the Aux/out as a pulse delay generator, (the purple line) with some set width and some set delay(+/-) relative to ch.1 or ch.2.
It looks like this machine could do that with the correct firmware, that is.
Channel 1 - Burst mode - Set frequency, set amplitude, set cycles, set delay - trigger from SCPI and/or manual,
Channel 2 - Burst mode - Set frequency, set amplitude, set cycles, set delay relative to ch.1 - trigger from the same SCPI and/or manual as ch.1
Aux Out - Burst mode - Set width, set amplitude, set delay relative to ch.1 - trigger from the same SCPI and/or manual as ch.1
That would be so sick if this unit could do that.
