Trigger Example
Displays an example of a multi-segment waveform. The currently enabled trigger and
next segment mode are considered. After the instrument is switched on, the graph of
the last loaded waveform is displayed.
Note: The curves plotted in this dialog box are textbook examples, "not measured"
waveforms. They are intended to visualize the trigger and next segment settings more
clearly.

5.10.4 How to Create and Work with Multi-Segment Waveform Files
This section provides step-by-step instructions on how to configure and use the multi-
segment settings. The Figure 5-31 shows the essential stages of multi-segment wave-
form configuration, together with the corresponding user interface dialogs and if appli-
cable, the corresponding file extensions. Perform the necessary settings, enable the
signal generation, and provide trigger signal.

Generating a multi-segment waveform file (basic workflow)
1. In the "ARB > Create Multi Segment > General" dialog, select "New List" to create
an empty list.
2. Use the "ARB: Multi Segment > Segment Table > Append" function to add two or
more waveform files.
3. In the "ARB: Multi Segment > Level/Clock/Marker" dialog, adjust the "Level",
"Clock", and "Segment Marker" settings.
4. Select the "ARB > Multi Segment > General > Output File" and enter filename.
5. Select "ARB > Multi Segment > General > Save List" to store the configuration file.
6. Select "ARB > Multi Segment > General > Create Output File" or "Create and Load
Output File" to create and load the multi-segment waveform.
7. Select "ARB > Multi Segment > General > State > On".
