test signals, the R&S SMW provides the functionality to generate multi-segment wave-
form files.
This section introduces the concept of the multi-segment waveform files, together with
description of the provided settings and some typical configuration examples.
Generation of multi-segment waveform files is possible in configurations with separa-
ted baseband sources ("System Configuration > Fading/Baseband Config > BB Source
Configuration > Separated").
5.10.1 Required Options
See Chapter 5.7.1, "Required Options", on page 296.
Multi-segment waveform files require the corresponding Digital Standard options
(R&S SMW-K2xx) of all included standards.
5.10.2 About the Multi-Segment Waveforms
A multi-segment waveform is a composed signal that contains several multiple inde-
pendent waveforms called segments. Each segment is an independent waveform that
can be output with its own marker and clock settings.
The Figure 5-27 shows the principle of building a multi-segment waveform.

It is also possible to create and output a blank segment, i.e. segments containing a
zero signal.
Typical applications for the multi-segment mode are described in section Chap-
ter 5.10.4, "How to Create and Work with Multi-Segment Waveform Files",
on page 373.
