Modes of Operation
There are four components to the mode of operation:
–– Coupling between channels
–– Trigger mode
–– Waveform type
–– Advanced modes
Coupling between channel
1 and 2
Trigger modes
The two-channel version has two distinct modes of operation:
–– Coupling off: The two channels operate independently. Frequency generation
for both channels is based on the same clock reference, but can be selected
independently.
–– Coupling on: The frequency, trigger mode, waveform type and advanced mode are
identical for both channels. The fix delay of channel 1 and channel 2 is the same.
–– Continuous: Continuous waveform, burst, sweep or modulation. The external In is
not used in continuous mode.
–– Externally triggered: Each active transition at the external In (rising, falling or both)
generates a single waveform, burst or sweep.
–– Externally gated: The active level (high or low) at the external In enables waveforms,
bursts or sweeps. The last waveform, burst or sweep is always completed.
–– Internally triggered: The internal clock replaces the external trigger source.
This can be applied for waveform, burst, or sweep.
–– Manual: This generates a single trigger. The source is either a button on the front
panel or a remote command.
