3.2 Sequencing Hierarchy
3.2.1 Segment
A waveform segment consists of a defined number of samples, which are played, in a
consecutive order. It is treated as a unit and can be repeated a specified number of
times or can run continuously. The sample count of segments must be in multiples of
the segment granularity. A minimum length is also required (see datasheet of the
instrument).
A segment can be played standalone (see Arbitrary Mode) or can be part of
a sequence.
3.2.2 Sequence
Multiple segments can be combined to a sequence. A sequence can be executed
continuously or for a specified number of times.

A sequence can be played standalone (see Sequence Mode) or can be part of a
scenario.
