Instructions for Operation
Continuous + In this mode, the first waveform is output over and over again for each channel when a trigger signal is received. When the next trigger signal is received, output of the first waveform stops after the end point of that waveform and then the second waveform is output in the same manner. The next waveform is not started at the moment a trigger is received, but rather at the completion of the previous waveform.
In this way, waveforms are output for each channel one by one in sequence each time a trigger signal is received. When a trigger signal is received while output of the last waveform is in progress, the output stops at the end point of that waveform and then the process begins again from output of the first waveform.
Step + In this mode, the first waveform is output on each channel when a trigger signal is received, but only for the number of times set with Repeat in the sequence editor. The next waveform is output when the next trigger signal is received. Other operations are the same as Continuous output.
Autostep Mode+ Use Autostep mode to start an Autostep file created with the EDIT menu Autostep editor. An Autostep file stores a program that specifies a waveform or sequence file (including output parameters) for each channel for each step.
Autostep mode resembles Waveform Advance mode in which each time a trigger is received, the display advances one waveform. However, in this mode the output parameters for each waveform change as well. The operating mode for each step can be set with the waveform output conditions to either Continuous or Step, as in the case of Waveform Advance mode. Just as in other operating modes, the Autostep mode trigger signal can be generated from the external trigger signal or by pressing the front panel MANUAL but* ton.
Continuous + In this mode the programmed Step:1 waveform is output over and over again when a trigger signal is received. When the next trigger signal is received output of the Step:1 waveform stops after the end point of that waveform and then the Step:2 waveform is output in the same manner. The waveform is started at the moment a trigger is received.
In this way, the current waveforms advance for each channel one by one in sequence each time a trigger signal is received. When a trigger signal is received while output of the last waveform in the step is in progress, the output stops at the end point of that wave* form and then the process begins again from output of the Step:1 waveform.
