Agilent X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference 303
Arb Commands
Dual ARB Subsystem–N5172B/82B ([:SOURce]:RADio:ARB)
— CONTinuous, see “:TRIGger:TYPE:CONTinuous[:TYPE]” on page 303
— SINGle, see “:RETRigger” on page 298
— SADVance, see “:TRIGger:TYPE:SADVance[:TYPE]” on page 304
— GATE, selecting the mode also sets the response
• Selecting the trigger source (see “:TRIGger[:SOURce]” on page 305), which determines how the
X- Series signal generator receives its trigger signal, internally or externally. The GATE choice
requires an external trigger.
• Setting the trigger polarity when using an external source:
— CONTinuous, SINGle, and SADVance see “:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal:SLOPe” on page 307
—GATE, see “:TRIGger:TYPE:GATE” on page 304
To check the trigger status, see “:REGister[:STATus]” on page 297. For more information on
triggering, see the User’s Guide.
The following list describes the trigger type command choices:
CONTinuous Upon triggering, the waveform repeats continuously.
SINGle Upon triggering, the waveform segment or sequence plays once.
SADVance The trigger controls the segment advance within a waveform sequence. To use this
choice, a waveform sequence must be the active waveform. Ensure that all
segments in the sequence reside in volatile memory.
GATE An external trigger signal repeatedly starts and stops the waveform’s playback
(transmission). The time duration for playback depends on the duty period of the
trigger signal and the gate polarity selection (see “:TRIGger:TYPE:GATE” on
page 304). The waveform plays during the inactive state and stops during the
active polarity selection state. The active state can be set high or low. The gate
mode works only with an external trigger source.
With the multiple baseband generator synchronization feature active, GATE is
unavailable (see page 284 for more information).

[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger:TYPE:CONTinuous[:TYPE] FREE|TRIGger|RESet
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger:TYPE:CONTinuous[:TYPE]?
This command selects the waveform’s response to a trigger signal while using the continuous trigger
mode.
For more information on triggering and to select the continuous trigger mode, see “:TRIGger:TYPE” on
page 302.
The following list describes the waveform’s response to each of the command choices:
FREE Turning the ARB format on immediately triggers the waveform. The waveform
repeats until you turn the format off, select another trigger, or choose another
waveform file.
