Triggers Types Continuous, single, gated, segment advance
Source Trigger key, external, bus (GPIB, LAN, USB)
Modes
Continuous Free run, trigger and run, reset and run
Single No retrigger, buffered trigger, restart on trigger
Gated Negative polarity or positive polarity
Segment advance Single or continuous
External coarse delay time 5 ns to 40 s
External coarse delay resolution 5 ns
Trigger latency (Single trigger only) 356 ns + 1 sample clock period, nominal
Trigger accuracy (Single trigger only) ± 2.5 ns, nominal
Single trigger - restart on trigger mode will initiate a FIFO clear. Therefore, the latency
includes re-filling the buffer. The latency is 8 µs + (1406 x sample period) ± 1 sample clock
period, nominal
Multi-baseband generator
synchronization mode
(multiple sources)
Fan out 1 master and up to 15 slaves
Trigger repeatability < 1 ns, nominal
Trigger accuracy Same as normal mode
Trigger latency Same as normal mode
Fine trigger delay range See Internal IQ Baseband section
Fine trigger delay resolution See Internal IQ Baseband section

Markers Markers are defined in a segment during the waveform generation process, or from the front
panel; a marker can also be routed to the RF blanking, ALC hold functions, and alternate
amplitude; see Users Guide for more information
Marker polarity
Negative, positive
Number of markers 4
RF blanking/burst on/off ratio > 80 dB
Alternate amplitude control switching speed See amplitude section
