This tab has the following controls.
Sequencer Modes
Arbitrary – Generate arbitrary waveform segments.
STSequence – Generate sequences of segments.
STSScenario – Generate scenarios (sequences of sequences).
Arm mode
Armed – Signal generation starts when an “enable” is received.
Self – Signal generation starts as defined by the trigger mode.
Trigger mode
Continuous – Signal generation starts immediately after pressing the Run button.
No trigger needed.
Triggered – Signal generation starts after a trigger is received.
Gated – Signal generation starts when a rising edge is received on the trigger input
and pauses when a falling edge is received. Signal generation restarts after the
next rising edge.
Advance Mode
Specifies how the sequencer proceeds from one segment iteration to the next in
sequencing mode “Arbitrary” and trigger mode “Triggered”. Signal generation
starts after receiving the start trigger.
Auto – The segment is repeated as specified by “Loop Count”.
Conditional – The segment is repeated infinitely. The value of “Loop Count” is not
used.
Repeat - The segment is repeated as specified by “Loop Count”. After an
advancement event is received, the segment is again played “Loop Count” times
and so on.
Single – The segment is played once. After an advancement event is received, the
next segment iteration is played until all “Loop Count” iterations are played.
Segment Loop
Specifies the segment loop count (number of times the selected segment is
repeated) for the selected segment in arbitrary mode. Value range is1 to
4,294,967,295 (4G-1).
Dynamic Control On
Use this check box to enable or disable dynamic segment or sequence selection
mode. If enabled, segments or sequences can be switched using a command or by
a signal on the dynamic control port.
Dynamic Control Port Disable
Use this check box to disable the dynamic control port hardware input. If disabled,
segment or sequences can only be switched using a command.
