Sequence: Outputs a sequence of waveforms, based on a definition in the sequence table.
Continuous: The instrument outputs a single waveform repeatedly when running.
Triggered: One cycle of waveform is output when the instrument receives a trigger input.
After once cycle, the instrument goes back to its initial state, and waits for another trigger
input.
Gated: The instrument outputs a single-waveform sequence when an gate signal is received
and stops when a second gate signal is received.

Scale: Scale is the amplitude scaling based on offset in a sequence of waveforms on one
channel.
Offset: Offset is the average of the maximum and minimum voltage in a sequence of
waveforms on a single channel after waveforms are dragged into sequence table. You can
change the offset to adjust the average position.
NOTE: Advanced mode supports waveforms with amplitude and offset info. When waveforms are loaded
into the table, CH1/CH2 offset may have an initial value. Scale and offset are work together; scale value
is calculated based on the offset settings.
