applied to the TRIGGER INPUT connector or by pressing the front panel MANUAL button.

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. Each channel operates independently according to the number of waveform points.

Table 3±15 and Figure 3 -165 show the output waveform for an external trigger signal.
