[0026] The embodiment can realize the differential signal output function and the single-ended signal output function in the external trigger mode. Specifically, four-way signal output functions are integrated on the circuit board of the external signal generation circuit, two of which are single-ended signal outputs and two of which are differential signal outputs.

The user combines the text prompt on the display screen and operates by using the key. The function mode can include an external trigger mode and an internal trigger mode, which are realized by inputting corresponding software programs in the programmable chip. In the external trigger mode described above, the pulse width of the output signal is consistent with the external input signal, and the frequency and amplitude can be set and adjusted by the key and the display screen. It can be seen that as long as an external trigger signal with arbitrary parameters is provided, the domestic signal and the differential signal with frequency and amplitude meeting the specific use requirements can be output.

[0033] In the internal trigger mode, no external input signal is needed, and the programmable chip directly generates a first-level modulation signal according to the set signal parameters to generate a differential signal and a single-ended signal, wherein the frequency, amplitude and pulse width of the differential signal and the single-ended signal are set by the key. Based on the programmable chip, more functions such as signal coding, pulse width modulation and linkage of each output signal can be realized.
