Run Mode
Commands
The Run Mode Commands group is used to synchronize device
actions with external events. These commands control the trigger
modes of the Model 5251. The generator can be placed in
Triggered, Gated or Burst mode. Trigger source is selectable from
an external source, an internal re-trigger generator or a software
trigger. Optional nodes were omitted from these commands. The
Run Mode settings affect all waveform shapes equally except when
using the modulated waveforms. In the case of modulated
waveform, the output idles on the carrier waveform until stimulated
to output a modulation cycle or burst of cycles. Factory defaults
after *RST are shown in bold typeface. Parameter low and high
limits are given where applicable
.
