This commands selects the waveform’s response to a trigger signal while using the segment advance
(SADVance) trigger mode.
When the Agilent MXG receives multiple trigger occurrences when only one is required, the signal
generator uses the first trigger and ignores the rest. For more information on triggering and to select
segment advance as the trigger mode, see “:TRIGger:TYPE” on page 156.
The following list describes the waveform’s response to each of the command choices:
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” on page 155 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.
