"Auto"
The signal is generated continuously.

"Retrigger"
The signal is generated continuously. A trigger event (internal or external) causes a
restart.

"Armed_Auto"
The signal is generated only when a trigger event occurs. Then the signal is gener-
ated continuously.
An "Arm" stops the signal generation. A subsequent trigger event (internal with or
external) causes a restart.

"Armed_Retrigger"
The signal is generated only when a trigger event occurs. Then the signal is gener-
ated continuously. Every subsequent trigger event causes a restart.
An "Arm" stops signal generation. A subsequent trigger event (internal with or
external) causes a restart.

"Single"
The signal is generated only when a trigger event occurs. Then the signal is gener-
ated once to the length specified at "Signal Duration".
Every subsequent trigger event (internal or external) causes a restart.

Remote command: 

[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:DVB[:TRIGger]:SEQuence

Signal Duration Unit

Defines the unit for the entry of the length of the signal sequence to be output in the
"Single" trigger mode.

Remote command: 

[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:DVB:TRIGger:SLUNit

 

on page 58

Signal Duration

Defines the length of the signal sequence to be output in the "Single" trigger mode.

It is possible to output deliberately just part of the signal, an exact sequence of the sig-
nal, or a defined number of repetitions of the signal.

Remote command: 

[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:DVB:TRIGger:SLENgth

 

on page 58

Running/Stopped

For enabled modulation, displays the status of signal generation for all trigger modes.

"Running"
The signal is generated; a trigger was (internally or externally) initiated in triggered
mode.

"Stopped"
The signal is not generated and the instrument waits for a trigger event.

Remote command: 

[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:DVB:TRIGger:RMODe?
