You can use the external PSO synchronization functions 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. Refer to the PSO Waveform Functions in Automation1 Help.
