The Run Mode Menu
Push the SETUP on the front–panel and the Run Mode bottom button to set the
waveform output run mode. The AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform
Generator operates in response to trigger signals and/or event signals. The Run
mode and instrument status (Stopped, Running, and Waiting) are always
displayed at the top of screen (see Figure 3-5). The instrument status may not be
displayed correctly if the status changes quickly.
Figure 3-5: Run mode and current status
To specify a run mode, push SETUP (front)!Run Mode (bottom)!Continuous,
Triggered, Gated, or Enhanced (side). The following text describes the run
modes in more detail.
Continuous
This button sets the instrument to continuous output mode. When you push the
RUN button on the front–panel, the output begins immediately. This occurs
regardless of the state of the trigger signal and FORCE TRIGGER button on the
front–panel. The output starts at the head of the waveform or sequence, and repeats
until you push the RUN button again. The Status Indicator is displaying Running
while the waveform is being output, or Stopped when the output has been stopped.
Triggered
This button sets the instrument to triggered output mode. When you push the RUN
button on the front–panel, the instrument enters the state awaiting a trigger (the
status is Waiting). In the state of waiting for trigger, the instrument outputs the head
value of waveform or sequence. When the instrument detects trigger or the
FORCE TRIGGER button is pushed, the output begins at the start of the
waveform or sequence data (the status is Running). After outputting one waveform
or sequence, the instrument outputs the head value of waveform or sequence and
enters again the state awaiting another trigger (the status is Stopped).
If you push the FORCE TRIGGER button or the instrument detects the trigger
edge during the waveform/sequence output, these operations are ignored. If you set
Run mode Instrument status
