Features and Function
HDG2000 Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator 48
one sweep or outputs one burst each time TRIG receives a TTL pulse. You can select whether
instrument triggers on rising or falling edge.
Manual: triggering initiates one sweep or outputs one burst each time you press [Trig Menu] on
the front panel.
Trigger Sources
This triggering information applies to sweep and burst only. You must specify the source from
which the instrument accepts a trigger.
Sweep and Burst trigger source: Immediate (default), External, Manual.
The instrument will accept a manual trigger, a hardware trigger from the front-panel TRIG
connector, or continuously output sweeps or bursts using an internal trigger.
Trigger source setting is volatile;

Immediate Triggering
Internal trigger mode (default): instrument continuously outputs sweep or burst (as specified by
sweep time or burst period).

Manual Triggering
Manual trigger mode: you manually trigger the instrument by pressing [Trig Menu] key. The
instrument initiates one sweep or burst for each time you press [Trig Menu]. The led of button is lit
when you are in the trigger menu and the instrument is waiting for a manual trigger. The led of this
button blinks when the instrument is waiting for a manual trigger, but you are not in the trigger
menu.
External Triggering
In external trigger mode, the instrument accepts a hardware trigger at the front-panel TRIG
connector. The instrument initiates one sweep or burst each time Ext Trig receives a TTL pulse
with the specified edge. The external trigger mode is like the manual trigger mode except that you
apply the trigger to the TRIG connector.
