MODE Menu
(4) Operating Mode Status | The operating mode set with the MODE menu is displayed. |
| There are five operating modes: Cont, Triggered, Gated, |
| Burst, Waveform Advance and Autostep. |
|
|
(5) Trigger Status | One of the following three trigger statuses is displayed in this |
| column. |
|
|
Stopped | isplayed when no waveform or sequence file has been |
| defined with the SETUP menu. |
|
|
Waiting for Trigger | isplayed when the waveform or sequence file has been |
| defined with the SETUP menu and the system is waiting for |
| the trigger or gate signal. |
|
|
Running | isplayed when the trigger or gate signal is generated and the |
| waveform is output. |

Setting the Operating Mode
Select the operating (output) mode ± either: Cont, Triggered, Gated and Burst trigger mode, Waveform Advance mode, or Autostep mode ± by pressing the corresponding button in the bottom menu.
NOTE. The operating mode set with the MODE menu has no effect on the function waveform generation (FG) operating mode.
In the operating mode excluding Cont, if the side menu STOP item is selected during waveform output, the output is stopped and the system returns to the start of the waveform or sequence.
Here is how each operating mode works.
Cont Mode As soon as Cont mode is selected, continuous output of the specified waveform or sequence waveform begins. No side menu is displayed while Cont is selected.
Triggered Mode In Triggered mode, the specified waveform or sequence waveform is output once for each trigger received. The trigger signal depends on the trigger source. It can be generated from the external trigger signal applied to the TRIGGER INPUT connector or by pressing the front panel MANUAL button. During waveform output, if the MANUAL button is pressed or another external trigger signal is generated, such a trigger has no effect.
When Triggered is selected, the following items will be displayed in the side menu:
