A waveform sequence comprises waveform segments. When you combine segments to form a sequence, you can enable or disable Marker 1 and/or Marker 2 on a segment-by-segment basis.

When you select a sequence to output, the markers embedded in any one segment of that sequence are output only if the sequence marker for that segment is enabled (toggled on). This makes it possible to output markers for some segments in a sequence, but not for others.
