Characteristic
Description
Arbitrary
In Arbitrary mode it can de
fi
ne different waveforms by means of a sequencer. The sequence
decides how these waveforms are generated at the outputs of the device. There are three
different kinds of waveforms that can be de
fi
ned: analog waveforms, digital waveforms or mixed
(analog digital) waveforms.

Characteristic
Description
Advanced mode
Can produce any waveform imaginable. A variety of methods are available to draw the
waveform to create the needed output. It is a sophisticated playback system that delivers
waveforms based on stored digital data that describes the constantly changing voltage levels
of an AC signal. In this mode, the sampling clock is variable.
