SINGle|DUAL|FOUR|MARKer|DCDuplicate|DCMarker
SINGle – Channel 1 can generate a signal
DUAL – Channels 1 and 4 can generate a signal, channels 2 and 3 are
unused
FOUR – Channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 can generate a signal
MARKer – Channel 1 with two markers output on channel 3 and 4
DCDuplicate – dual channel duplicate: Channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 can generate
a signal. Channel 3 generates the same signal as channel 1. Channel 4
generates the same signal as channel 2.
DCMarker – dual channel with marker: Channels 1 and 2 can generate a
signal. Channel 1 has two markers output on channel 3 and 4. Channel 2
can generate signals without markers.
Use this command or query to set or get the operation mode of the DAC. The value
of the operation mode determines, to which channels waveforms can be transferred
and the format of the waveform data. In operation mode SINGle, DUAL, DCDuplicate,
or FOUR the data consists of 1-byte waveform samples only. In operation mode
MARKer or DCMarker the data loaded to channel 1 consists of interleaved 1-byte
waveform and 1-byte marker samples (see section :TRACe Subsystem). In operation
mode DDUPlicate waveforms can only be loaded to channels 1 and 2.
