4.4.6 MODE
Modes set the operating state
of
the Mode1395. The Model 395 supports four modes
of
operation: continuous, sweep, gated, and triggered. The triggered
and
gated modes
require trigger signaIs to activate the selected waveform; see Triggering.
To
select the operating mode, press the Mode key which displays the MODE screen
(figure 4-31). Select a mode from the screen using the adjacent soft keys.

Continuous Mode
In
the continuous mode the generator produces a continuous
output
of
the selected
waveform at the programmed frequency and amplitude; see figure 4-32A. Selectby

Triggered Mode
In
the triggered mode, the Model395 generates a user-defined nurnber (cnt)
of
waveform
cycles each time the trigger signal goes true. The output stays quiescent
at
the waveform
baseline before receiving a true state trigger signal. The Model 395 always completes the
last cycle. The number
of
cycles, "trig'd,cnt," ranges from 1 (default) to 1,048,575. Both
arbitrary and standard waveforms can be triggered
at
the programmed frequency and
amplitude.
Selectthe triggered mode by pressing the MODE key and selecting "trig'd" (F4) from the
screen (figure 4-31). Set the trigger count by pressing F8, "cnt." Use the knob or keypad
to enter the count value
(1
to 1048575).
Figure

32B illustrates the relationship between the trigger signal and the triggered output.
