:TRIGger:TYPE:CONTinuous[:TYPE]

[: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 156.
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.
TRIGger The waveform waits for a trigger before play begins. When the waveform receives
the trigger, it plays continuously until you turn the format off, select another
trigger, or choose another waveform file.
RESet The waveform waits for a trigger before play begins. When the waveform receives
the trigger, it plays continuously. Subsequent triggers reset the waveform to the
beginning. For a waveform sequence, this means to the beginning of the first
segment in the sequence.

:TRIGger:TYPE:GATE:ACTive
Supported N5182A with Option 651/652/654
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger:TYPE:GATE LOW|HIGH
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger:TYPE:GATE?
This command selects the active state (gate polarity) of the gate while using the gating trigger mode.
The LOW and HIGH selections correspond to the low and high states of an external trigger signal.
For example, when you select HIGH, the active state occurs during the high of the trigger signal.
When the active state occurs, the Agilent MXG stops the waveform playback at the last played sample
point, then restarts the playback at the next sample point when the active state occurs. For more
information on triggering and to select gating as the trigger mode, see “:TRIGger:TYPE” on page 156.
The following list describes the Agilent MXG’s gating behavior for the polarity selections:
LOW The waveform playback stops when the trigger signal goes high and restarts when
the trigger signal goes low.
HIGH The waveform playback stops when the trigger signal goes low and restarts when
the trigger signal goes high.
