Any next segment trigger event (internal or external) causes a switchover to the subse-
quent available segment in the waveform. A sequence of external next segment trigger
events can be used to cyclical output the segments in the multi segment file.
The currently output segment (segment file name and segment index) is indicated at
"Current Segment". When the last segment of the multi segment waveform has been
output, the sequence starts again with the output of the first segment after the subse-
quent trigger event.
Depending on the selected "Next Segment Mode", the new segment is output either at
once or only after the complete output (wrap around) of the previous segment.
This parameter is disabled, if a sequencing play list is enabled.
"Internal"
Switchover to any segment is triggered manually by means of the
"Execute Next Segment" button.
"External
(NEXT)"
The trigger event for switching to the next segment is input on the
NEXT connector.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:ARBitrary:WSEGment:NEXT:SOURce on page 646
Execute Next Segment
Triggers manually switchover to the subsequent segment in the mutli segment file. A
manual trigger can be executed only when an internal "Next Segment Source" has
been selected.
To perform a switchover to any segment within the multi segment file, adjust the
parameter "Next Segment".
This parameter is disabled, if a sequencing play list is enabled.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:ARBitrary:WSEGment:NEXT:EXECute on page 646
Sequencing List
Open a dialog box for defining the “play lists” (see "Multi Segment Waveform Sequenc-
ing" on page 419).
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:ARBitrary:WSEGment:SEQuence:SELect on page 648
Trigger Example
Displays an example of a multi segment waveform. The currently enabled trigger and
next segment mode are considered. After the instrument switch 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.
