You can use the external PSO synchronization functions [A3200: PSOOUTPUT PULSE EXTSYNC command] to synchronize waveform generation with an external synchronization signal. When you activate this feature, the PSO Waveform module will not generate the configured waveform when an output event is received until the rising edge of the synchronization signal occurs.
