Using The Instrument 3-28
Figure 3-6 shows a sequence of waveforms that were stored in
three different memory segments. Note that segment number 2 is
generated first and repeated twice, segment 3 follows once and
then segment 1 is repeated four times.
Sequence Commands
The following is an overview of how to define and program a
sequence of arbitrary waveforms.
Figure 3-6 Sequenced Waveforms - Continuous Advance Mode
A sequence is made of steps. A step can stand on its own or link
to another step. It is possible to have only one step in a sequence
but the output will look like a continuous waveform. If only one step
is specified and the Model 3152 is placed in Triggered mode, the
output will behave as it would in Burst mode where the repeat
number replaces the burst count parameter.
Aside from step numbers, each step has two other parameters:
segment number and repeat counter. The segment number
specifies which segment will be linked, and the repeat counter
specifies how many times the segment will repeat. Use the
following command to generate a sequence:
SEQuence:DEFine {<step_number>,<segment_number>,
<repeat>}
