Characteristics

Arbitrary Waveforms

Waveform Length - 960 to 32,400,000 points (or 64,800,000 points, option 01) in multiples of four.

Run Modes

Continuous - Waveform is iteratively output. If a sequence is defined, the sequence order and repeat functions are applied.
Triggered - Waveform is output only once when an external, internal, GPIB, LAN, or manual trigger is received.
Gated - Waveform begins output when gate is true and resets to beginning when false.
Enhanced - Waveform is output as defined by the sequence.
