Output characteristics

Isolation

Outputs

Connector shells for channel output(s), Sync, and Mod In are connected
together but isolated from the instrument’s chassis. Maximum
allowable voltage on isolated connector shells is ±42 Vpk

Overload protection

Output turns off automatically when an overload is applied
Instrument will tolerate a short-circuit to ground indefinitely

Arbitrary waveform characteristics, continued

Waveform sequencing

Operation

Individual arbitrary waveforms (segments) can be combined into user-defined
lists (sequences) to form longer, more complex waveforms. Each sequence step
specifies whether to repeat the associated segment a certain number of times,
to repeat it indefinitely, to repeat it until a Trigger event occurs, or to stop and
wait for a Trigger event. Additionally, the behavior of the Sync output can be
specified in each step.

To improve throughput, up to 32 sequences totalling up to 1,024 segments can be pre-
loaded into volatile memory.
