Advanced mode
Advanced mode enables you to generate long waveforms, or waveforms with complex timing. One
example of this is generating pulse trains or data packets over a serial bus.
You can control how the waveforms in the sequencer are organized, including repeat, wait, jump, go
to, or triggering with events including external trigger in, manual trigger, timer, and SCPI commands.
In Advanced mode, every point in an arbitrary waveform is output once each cycle, at the pace of the
specified sampling rate, with no skips or repetition. Use advanced mode if your application is
sensitive to jitter and phase noise, like serial bus simulation or I/Q modulation, or if you want to
simulate narrow anomalies in long waveforms. The details in the waveform are maintained, jitter and
phase noise performance is improved, and the number of samples in each cycle are consistent.
