For information on the file name syntax, see “File Name Variables” on page 12,
and for more information on waveform segments, see the User’s Guide.
"<waveform2>" This variable specifies the name of a second existing waveform segment or
sequence file. The same conditions required for waveform1 apply for this segment
or sequence. Additional segments and other sequences can be inserted into the
file.
<reps> This variable sets the number of times a segment or sequence plays (repeats)
before the next segment or sequence plays.
NONE This choice disables all four markers for the waveform. Disabling markers means
that the waveform sequence ignores the segment’s or sequence’s marker settings.
M1, M2, M3, M4 These choices, either individually or a combination of them, enable the markers
for the waveform segment or sequence. Markers not specified are ignored for that
segment or sequence.
ALL This choice enables all four markers in the waveform segment or sequence.
Example
:RAD:ARB:SEQ "SEQ:Test_Data","WFM1:ramp_test_wfm",25,M1M4,
"WFM1:sine_test_wfm",100,ALL
NOTE A carriage return or line feed is never included in a SCPI command. The example above
contains a carriage return so that the text will fit on the page.
The preceding example creates a waveform sequence file named Test_Data. This file consists of the
factory- supplied waveform segments, ramp_test_wfm and sine_test_wfm. The waveform is stored in
the signal generator’s SEQ: directory.
• The first segment, ramp_test_wfm, has 25 repetitions with markers 1 and 4 enabled.
• The second segment, sine_test_wfm, has 100 repetitions with all four markers enabled.
Range <reps>: 1–65535
Remarks These softkeys are located under the ARB menu.
:TRIGger:TYPE
Supported N5182A with Option 651/652/654
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger:TYPE CONTinuous|SINGle|GATE|SADVance
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger:TYPE?
This command sets the trigger mode (type) that controls the waveform’s playback.
Triggers control the playback by telling the Agilent MXG when to play the modulating signal
(waveform). Depending on the trigger settings for the Agilent MXG, the waveform playback can occur
once, continuously, or the Agilent MXG may start and stop playing the waveform repeatedly (GATE
mode).
