Extended Sequencing Capabilities in AWGs
Basic Sequencing
This section describes how patterns are generated in case only a single
infinitely looped sequence block is defined. This basic sequencing
description is valid for M8195A and M8196A modules.
• PRBS, Static, and Clock sequence block types are repeated with their
minimum possible granularity ignoring the number of symbols
specified in the sequence block length.
• Memory Patterns and Pulses are created with the chosen pattern
length using the sequence block length as the minimum repetition
rate.
Extended Sequencing
Pattern Generation
This section describes how the distinct sequence block types are
generated when using the enhanced AWG sequencing capabilities in
M8070A. Presently, these capabilities are only available with M8195A
modules which are configured with the 'SEQ' option meant for sequencing.
