Execute Next Segment
For "Next Segment Source = Internal", triggers manually switch over to the subsequent
segment in the multi-segment file. The subsequent segment can be any segment
within the multi-segment file and is defined by the parameter "Segment"
This parameter is disabled, if a sequencing play list is enabled.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:ARBitrary:WSEGment:NEXT:EXECute on page 937
Sequencing List
Opens a dialog box for defining the “play lists”, see Chapter 4.8.3.4, "Multi-Segment
Waveform Sequencing", on page 337.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:ARBitrary:WSEGment:SEQuence:SELect on page 937
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.

4.8.4 How to Create and Work with the Multi-Segment Waveform Files
This section provides step-by-step instructions on how to configure and use the multi-
segment settings. The Figure 4-21 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.
Figure 4-21: Basic workflow for generation of multi-segment waveforms
Generating a multi-segment waveform file (basic workflow)
1. In the "ARB > Multi Segment > General" dialog, select "New List" to create empty
list.
2. Use the "ARB: Multi Segment > Segment Table > Append" function to add two or
more waveform files.
