Description
Continuous m
ode
An arbitrary
waveform is output continuously.
Triggered mode
An arbitrar
y waveform is output only once when a trigger signal is applied. After the waveform
is output, the instrument waits for the next trigger signal.
Triggered
continuous mode
An arbitrary waveform is output continuously after a trigger signal is applied.

Real waveform: 2400 samples
Complex waveform: 1200 samples
Real waveforms are waveforms that have a single input value for each sample point. IQ
waveforms, referred to as “Complex waveforms”, use 2 values for each sample point.
Waveform granularity
Continuous run mode
1 sample
Triggered run modes 1 sample
IQ (Complex) waveform support IQ waveforms, referred to as “Complex waveforms”, are supported for use with real time
digital up-conversion and play out. The carrier signal is generated independently of the
waveform with an NCO (Numerically Controlled Oscillator).
The waveform requires 2 values for each sample point. In the IQ waveform, I and Q
samples alternate in pairs or groups depending on the interpolation selection. The
format depends on the interpolation rate selected (2x or 4x)
