Run Modes |
Type |
Continuous, self armed, armed, triggered, normal, override, gated, burst |
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. Last period is always completed. |
Burst |
Upon trigger, outputs a Dual or multiple pre-programmed number of waveform cycles from 1 through 1M. |
