1.6 Waveform Generation in the FG Mode
Selecting the Output Mode (Continuous Oscillation/Trigger Oscillation/Gate
Oscillation)
The following three output modes are available.
Continuous oscillation
Continuously generates the waveform.
Output
ON
OFF
Output voltage
Trigger oscillation
Continuously generates the waveform when a trigger occurs.
Output
ON
OFF
Output voltage
Trigger signal
Gate oscillation
Generates the waveform while the gate signal is enabled. The waveform is generated in
units of one cycle. Therefore, the waveform that is being generated at the end of the
enable period is output until the end of the cycle.
Output
ON
OFF
Output voltage
Gate signal
Enable period
Output in units of one cycle
Note
• When the output mode is set to [Trigger], the trigger can be activated by inputting the bus
trigger signal* or by clicking the [Manual Trigger] button on the operation panel.
• When the output mode is set to [Gate], the gate can be opened or closed by inputting the bus
trigger signal* as a gate signal or by pressing down on the [Manual Trigger] button on the
operation panel for the desired amount of time during which the signal is to be enabled.
*A trigger signal that is provided via the WE bus of the measuring station. For details, see the
WE7000 User’s Manual (IM 707001-01E).
• A trigger that occurs while a waveform is being generated is ignored.
• If the output voltage range of a channel or the frequency, amplitude, or duty during a sweep
operation is changed while the waveform is being generated, waveform generation on all
channels is temporarily suspended.
• When the sweep operation is turned ON, the output mode is set to [Cont].
