The duration can be set to be either the number of times for the ARB file associated
with the sequence to play, or a specific time value, or continuous. If the step is set to
play a CW tone, the step duration cannot be set to a play count.

If in VXT models M9410A/11A/16A, Step Duration is TIME or Play COUNt, only Free Run is available
for the next step. Otherwise, an error message is generated: “Parameter error; only Free Run is
available as step trigger on step<n>”

Option Details
Parameter SCPI Notes
Time
TIME
Sets the duration of the current step to be a time value for the length of time the
step will play
When TIME is selected, the Time may be set using the second field under Step
Duration and/or by the "Duration Time" on page 2039 command
Count
COUNt
Sets the duration of the current step to be an integer value for the number of times
(play count) the ARB file is selected for playback during this step. For example, a 5
second ARB will be set to play 5 times during the step
When COUNt is selected, the Count may be set using the second field under Step
Duration and/or by the "Play Count" on page 2040 command
Continuous
CONTinuous
Sets the current step to be played continuously until the next step starts. The
waveform will always play completely before transitioning to the next step
Continuous
Abort
CABort
Sets the current step to be played continuously or until the trigger event of the
next step is detected. When a trigger event is received, the waveform play will be
aborted after the interval specified by the Duration Time parameter and it will then
transition to the next step
When Continuous Abort is selected, the Duration Time may be set using the
second field under Step Duration and/or by the "Duration Time" on page 2039
command
Duration Time
Lets you specify the length of time the current step will play when "Step Duration"
on page 2038 is Time.
