RUN MODES |
Continuous: |
A selected output function shape is output continuously. |
Self Armed: |
No start commands are required to generate waveforms. |
Armed: |
The output dwells on a DC level and waits for an enable command and then the output waveform is output continuously; An abort command turns off the waveform. Triggered: A trigger signal activates a single-shot or counted burst of output waveforms and then the instrument waits for the next trigger signal. |
Normal Mode: |
The first trigger signal activates the output; consecutive triggers are ignored for the duration of the output waveform |
Override Mode: |
The first trigger signal activates the output; consecutive triggers restart the output waveform regardless if the current waveform has been completed or not. |
Gated: |
A waveform is output when a gate signal is asserted. The waveform is repeated until the gate signal is de-asserted. |
Burst: |
Upon trigger, outputs a Dual or multiple pre-programmed number of waveform cycles from 1 through 1M. |
