•
External: applied to the front panel 10 MHz input connector
•
CLK10: Available on the VXI backplane. The CLK10 source
has the least accuracy and stability of the three options, but
is useful for synchronization with other VXI modules.
Sequence
The Sequence Advance Mode group provides control over
advanced modes for the sequence generator. Advanced options
include Auto, Stepped, Single, and Mixed. Refer to Chapter 3 for
details about these advanced modes.
Memory Management
The Memory Management group provides access to the Memory
Partition and Waveform Studio Screens. The Waveform Partition
button opens a screen as shown in Figure 4-9. The Waveform
Studio button opens the screen shown in Figure 4-10. Instructions
for using these screens are given in the following paragraphs.
Using the Memory
Partition Table
Refer to Chapter 3 for more information about waveform memory
and segment control. In general, the 3152B generates arbitrary
waveforms, but they must first be downloaded from the host
computer to the 3152B waveform memory.
You do not have to use the entire memory when you download a
waveform. Model 3152B allows memory segmentation, so that up to
16 k smaller waveforms may be stored in this memory.
There are two ways to divide the waveform memory into segments:
•
Define a segment and load it with waveform data, define the
next segment and load with data, etc.
•
In ArbConnection, make up one long waveform that contains
many smaller segments, download it to the instrument in one
operation, and then download a memory partition table that
splits the entire waveform memory into the required segment
sizes.
To use ArbConnection to download one long waveform and then
segment it into smaller sections, follow this procedure:
•
Click Memory Partition. The dialog box shown in Figure 4-9
appears.
