Interval
The internal trigger source is a pulse generator that automatically
triggers the instrument every interval setting. This button lets you set the time
interval between trigger pulses. The time interval ranges from 1.0 µs to 10.0 s. The
automatic trigger interval starts when RUN button is pressed.
Do the following steps to set the trigger interval:
1. Push SETUP (front)!Trigger (bottom)!Interval (side).
2. Use the general purpose knob, numeric buttons, or the keyboard to adjust the
trigger interval time.
The Save/Restore Menu
The Save/Restore menu lets you save and restore instrument output setup
information on both AWG mode and FG mode to a file. The setup parameters when
saving is included in a setup file. When you restore a setup file, settings in both
AWG mode and FG mode will replace the contents of a setup file.
When you output the file after loading it, you need to set the parameters for output
because there includes only pattern data and clock information in the waveform
and pattern file. The parameters are set in the SETUP main menu.
Setup file includes path information of the waveform file(s) to be set in the Setup
Window. When the setup file is saved in the same directory as the waveform file(s),
only waveform file name(s) are included in the setup file. Otherwise, the setup file
stores the drive and full path information for the waveform file(s).
So you cannot move these files to another directory and/or a drive unless they are
stored in the same directory.
NOTE. The FORCE TRIGGER front–panel button forces a trigger event
immediately when pressed. Forcing a trigger does not reset the start of the
automatic trigger interval. For example, if the trigger interval is set for four
seconds, and you force a trigger at 2.5 seconds after the automatic trigger signal
seconds, the next automatic trigger occurs 1.5 seconds after the force trigger.
To disable automatic triggering, push SETUP (front)!Trigger (bottom)! Source
(side) to External. You can then use an external trigger signal on the TRIG IN
connector or the FORCE TRIGGER front–panel button to trigger the instrument.
