Using Waveform Markers

To Toggle Markers As You Create a Waveform Sequence

You can combine waveform segments to create a waveform sequence while independently toggling the markers of each waveform segment.

In this example, you learn how to toggle markers while building a waveform sequence. If you have not created waveform segments, complete the steps in the previous section, “Creating Waveform Segments” on page 100.

1.Press Mode > Dual ARB > Waveform Sequences > Build New Waveform Sequence.

2.Press Insert Waveform.

3.Highlight the desired waveform segment (for example, TTONE).

4.Press Insert Selected Waveform > Insert Selected Waveform > Done Inserting.

5.Highlight the first waveform segment.

An entry (1, 2 or 12) in the Mk column indicates that a marker is active. No entry in that column means that both markers are off.

6.Press Toggle Markers.

7.Press Toggle Marker 1 and Toggle Marker 2 until only 2 is showing in the Mk column.

8.Highlight the next waveform segment.

9.Press Toggle Marker 1 and Toggle Marker 2 until both 1 and 2 are showing in the Mk column.

10.Press Return.

You now have a waveform sequence that contains two TTONE waveform segments. Marker 2 is on for the first waveform segment and markers 1 and 2 are on for the second waveform segment.

To Verify Marker Operation

In this example, you learn how to verify marker operation. If you have not created waveform segments and applied makers, complete the steps in the previous sections, “Creating Waveform Segments” on page 100 and “To Place a Marker at the First Point within a Waveform Segment” on page 104.

Once you set a marker on a waveform segment, you can detect the marker pulse at the EVENT 1 or EVENT 2 connectors (EVENT 1 for this example). For more information, see “Waveform Marker Concepts” on page 108

1.Press Mode > Dual ARB > Select Waveform.

2.Highlight the desired waveform segment or sequence.

3.Press ARB Off On to On.

4.Connect an oscilloscope input to the EVENT 1 connector, and trigger on the Event 1 signal.

When a marker is present, a marker pulse is displayed on the oscilloscope.
