Characteristic
Description
Continuous mode
The speci
fi
ed waveform outputs continuously and iteratively. A continuous waveform is output.
Only one entry is allowed in the Sequence Window.
Sequence mode
The sequence mode outputs the waveform according to the sequence table, including loop and
conditional jump. Waveform is output as de
fi
ned by the sequence selected. Multiple waveforms
can be output in the order speci
fi
ed in the Sequence Window.
Triggered mode
An arbitrary waveform is output only once when it get trigger signal. After the waveform is output
the instrument waits for the next trigger signal.
The trigger condition is de
fi
ned in terms of event. The event could be de
fi
ned as a logical
operation of trigger in, timer, force trigger and marker.
Only one entry is allowed in the Sequence Window.
Using the PI commands, the instrument Run Mode can be programmed in the same mode of
advanced UI, so triggered mode can be selected.
Gated mode
The gated mode continuously outputs the waveform or sequence as long as the trigger remains
enabled. Every time the trigger is asserted, the output starts from the beginning.
The start and stop conditions are de
fi
ned in terms of event. The event could be de
fi
ned as a
logical operation of trigger in, timer, force trigger and marker.
Only one entry is allowed in the Sequence Window.
Using the PI commands, the instrument Run Mode can be programmed in the same mode of
advanced UI, so gated mode can be selected.
