AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual 2-39

Outputting a Waveform To output a loaded waveform, push the CH 1 OUT and/or CH 1 OUT and/or ALL

MARKER OUTPUT ON/OFF front–panel button(s), then the RUN front–panel

button. The LEDs near each button light up to indicate they are enabled. The

instrument outputs the waveform depen din g on t he Run mode. You can turn eith er

or both channel outputs and marker outputs on or off while the instrument is

running by pushing the CH 1 OUT or CH 1 OUT or ALL MARKER OUTPUT

Horizontal Clock

(AWG710B only)
Sets the clock sample rate from 50 kS/s to 4.0 GS/s.
Sets the reference clock source to either Internal or External.
A valid external clock signal is 10 MHz ±0.1 MHz with a
voltage level of 0.2 to 3.0 Vp–p.
Sets the clock source to either Internal or External. A valid
external clock signal is 125 MHz to 4.2 GHz with a voltage
level of 0.4 to 2.0 Vp–p.
Run Mode Continuous

Displays the Run Mode side menu for setting the instrument
run mode. Refer to The Run Mode Menu section on page 3-44
for an explanation of the different run modes.

Interval
Sets trigger source to Internal or External. If External selected,
all other side menu items are not selectable except Interval.
Sets the trigger slope or gate polarity to Positive or Negative.
Sets the trigger signal level. The trigger level range is ±5.0 V
in 0.1 V increments.
Sets the external trigger input line impedance to either 50 Ω
or 1 kΩ.
Sets trigger interval from 1.0 µs to 10.0 s.
