Arbitrary 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
(Marker) can be specified in each step. to improve throughput, multiple sequences and segments
can be pre-loaded into volatile memory.
Segment length 32 Sa to 4 MSa per channel (64 MSa with Option MeM) in increments of 1 Sa
Sequence length 1 to 512 steps
Segment repeat count 1 to 10 6 or “Infinite”
General
Connector Front-panel BNC, shell and pin isolated from chassis (±42 V maximum)
Function On, Off, or Inverted
Output impedance (nom) 50 Ω
Isolation 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 shell or pin is ±42 V
relative to chassis.
Overload protection Output turns off automatically when an overload is applied. Instrument will tolerate a short circuit
to ground indefinitely.
