Tutorial: Advanced mode
This example will show you how to use the AFG31000 Series Arbitrary Function Generator to
generate long waveforms or waveforms with complex timing. Generating pulse trains or data packets
in a serial bus are an example of this type of application.
Advanced mode provides 16MB per channel, with an optional expansion to 128MB, and supports 256
sequencing entries. You control the waveforms in the instrument by branching using repeat, wait,
jump, go to, or by triggering with events using external trigger in, manual trigger, timer, and SCPI
commands.
This application example shows how to compile a simple sequence with three entries, and how to
change how they are displayed on the instrument.
