Table A-1: Operation modes
Characteristics Description
Continuous Waveform is continuously output in this mode. When a sequence is defined, waveforms
are sequentially or repeatedly output in the order defined by the sequence. The extended
sequence functions such as trigger input, event jump, and so on are neglected in this
mode.
Triggered Waveform is output only once when a trigger event is created. A trigger signal is created by
the external trigger input signal, GPIB trigger command, and/or pressing the frontĆpanel
FORCE TRIGGER button. The extended sequence functions such as trigger input, event
jump, and so on are neglected in this mode.
Gated The waveform is output in the same way as in the continuous mode only when the gate is
opened. The gate is opened by the gated signal.
Note that the output is made from the top of the first waveform for every gate period. The
clock signal continuously outputs from the connector outside the gate period.
Enhanced The waveforms are sequentially or repeatedly output according to the procedures defined
in the sequence. All extended functions such as trigger input, event jump, and so on are
effective and waveforms are controlled for output by this functions in this mode.
