Basic Digital Operation (Option 653/655/656/657)
Triggering a Waveform
• Segment Advance mode plays a segment in a sequence only if triggered. The trigger source controls
segment–to–segment playing (see Example: Segment Advance Triggering on page 181). A trigger
received during the last segment loops play to the first segment in the sequence.
• Gated mode triggers the waveform at the first active triggering state, then repeatedly starts and
stops playing the waveform in response to an externally applied gating signal. See Example: Gated
Triggering on page 182.
Trigger Source
External Trigger Polarity
• In Continuous, Single, and Segment Advance modes, use the Ext Polarity softkey to set the external
trigger polarity.
• In Gated mode, the Active Low and Active High softkeys (page 179) determine the external
trigger polarity.
