(applies for Standard, Arbitrary, Sequencer and Modulated waveforms)
Continuous Mode
Continuous output of a waveform after a software or
hardware Enable ON command. Continuous mode
disabled with software only Enable OFF command
Triggered Mode
Output of one waveform cycle following an Enable
ON command. Last cycle always completed
Burst Mode (does not operate in
Sequencer Mode)
Output of a single or multiple pre-programmed
number of waveform cycles (burst) starting after a
software or hardware Enable ON command.
Counted Burst Cycles
1 to 1Meg, programmable
