Run mode
The AWG supports the following Run modes:
Continuous. Waveform play out starts when the Play button is pressed, without the need for a trigger event.
Triggered. Waveform play out starts when a proper external trigger event occurs or a Force Trig ( A or B) button is pressed.
Waveform play out stops after one complete waveform cycle.
Waveform play out can not be retriggered until the current waveform play out completes an entire cycle. For two channel
instruments, both waveforms must complete a cycle.
Pressing a Force Trig ( A or B) button has no effect if play out is in process.
Triggered Continuous. Waveform play out starts when a proper external trigger event occurs or a Force Trig (A or B) button is
pressed. Once a trigger event occurs, waveform play out continues until stopped by the user.
Changing control settings
As you configure the instrument, you might need to set a numerical parameter such as an amplitude level or offset. To set these
parameters in a screen window, touch or click the parameter to select it. Once the parameter is selected, the general purpose
knob is assigned to the parameter.
Use the general purpose knob to change parameters, although the following methods are generally available.
■
Some parameters supply a pop-up keyboard that you can use to enter a new value.
Touch or click the keyboard icon to display the keyboard.
■
Enter the desired value using the numeric keypad on the front panel or with an attached USB keyboard.
Preferences
Use the Preferences to set certain instrument characteristics that are retained for each subsequent power on cycle.
In the toolbar, go to Utilities > Preferences to access user preferences.
