Arb Commands
Dual ARB Subsystem–N5172B/82B ([:SOURce]:RADio:ARB)
SINGle Each segment in the sequence requires a trigger to play, and a segment plays only
once, ignoring a segment’s repetition value (see “:SEQuence[:MWAVeform]” on
page 300 for repetition information). The following list describes a sequence’s
playback behavior with this choice:
• After receiving the first trigger, the first segment plays to completion.
• When the waveform receives a trigger after a segment completes, the sequence
advances to the next segment and plays that segment to completion.
• When the waveform receives a trigger during play, the current segment plays
to completion. Then the sequence advances to the next segment, and it plays
to completion.
• When the waveform receives a trigger either during or after the last segment
in a sequence plays, the sequence resets and the first segment plays to
completion.
CONTinuous Each segment in the sequence requires a trigger to play. After receiving a trigger,
a segment plays continuously until the waveform receives another trigger. The
following list describes a sequence’s playback behavior with this choice:
• After receiving the first trigger, the first segment plays continuously.
• A trigger during the current segment play causes the segment to play to the
end of the segment file, then the sequence advances to the next segment,
which plays continuously.
• When last segment in the sequence receives a trigger, the sequence resets and
the first segment plays continuously.
Example
:RAD:ARB:TRIG:TYPE:SADV CONT
The preceding example selects the continuous segment advance mode.
*RST CONT
:TRIGger[:SOURce]
Supported N5172B/82B
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger[:SOURce] KEY|EXT|BUS
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger[:SOURce]?
This command sets the trigger source.With the multi–baseband generator synchronization slave
selection, this command is unavailable (see page 284 for more information).
For more information on triggering, see “:TRIGger:TYPE” on page 302. The following list describes the
command choices:
KEY This choice enables manual triggering by pressing the front-panel Trigger hardkey.
EXT An externally applied signal triggers the waveform. This is the only choice that
works with gating. The following conditions affect an external trigger:
• The input connector selected for the trigger signal. You have a choice between
Key Entry Single Continuous
