Advance output modes
Advanced mode has the following output modes:
Sequence: Open a saved waveform sequence by selecting Sequence. Provides more
flexibility when generating waveforms with complex timing. You can define complex timing
with up to 256 steps or a total waveform length of 16 MB per channel (or 128 MB as an
option). These steps can be organized in terms of a loop, a go to, or triggered by either jump
or wait events.
Continuous: The instrument outputs a one-step waveform sequence repeatedly when
running.
Triggered: One cycle of waveform is output when the instrument receives a trigger input.
After one cycle, it goes back to its initial state, waiting for another trigger input.
Gated: The instrument outputs a one-step waveform sequence when an effective gate signal
is received and stops when another effective gate signal is triggered.
The Advanced mode outputs the waveform according to the sequence table, including loop and
conditional jump. The waveform is output as defined by the sequence selected. Multiple waveforms
can be output in any order specified.
The advanced output mode screen allows you to:
Choose from available waveforms.
Open a saved waveform sequence by selecting Sequence.
Create and save a new waveform.
