Operating Manual 1176.8016.02 ─ 17

Parameters:

<Sequence>

AUTO | RETRigger | AAUTo | ARETrigger | SINGle

AUTO

The multi carrier signal is generated continuously.

RETRigger

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

AAUTo

The multi carrier signal is generated only when a trigger event
occurs. After the trigger event the signal is generated continu-
ously. Signal generation is stopped with command

SOURBB:MCCW:TRIG:ARM:EXEC

 and started again when a trig-

ger event occurs.

ARETrigger

The multi carrier signal is generated only when a trigger event
occurs. The device automatically toggles to RETRIG mode.
Every subsequent trigger event causes a restart. Signal genera-
tion is stopped with command 

SOURBB:MCCW:TRIG:ARM:EXEC

and started again when a trigger event occurs.

SINGle

The multi carrier signal is output only when a trigger event
occurs. After the trigger event the signal is output once to the set
sequence length (

SOURBB:MCCW:TRIG:SLEN

). Every subse-

quent trigger event causes a restart.
*RST: 

AUTO

Example: 

BB:MCCW:SEQ AAUT

sets the "Armed_auto" trigger mode; the device waits for the first
trigger (e.g. with 

*TRG

) and then generates the signal continu-

ously.

Manual operation: 

See 

"Trigger Mode"
