AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual

Continuous

Waveform is continuously output in this mode. When a sequence is defined, waveforms are 
sequentially or repeatedly output in the order defined by the sequence. The extended 
sequence functions such as trigger input, event jump, and so on are neglected in this mode.

Triggered

Waveform is output only once when a trigger event is created. A trigger signal is created by 
the external trigger input signal, GPIB trigger command, and/or pressing the front–panel 
FORCE TRIGGER button. The extended sequence functions such as trigger input, event 
jump, and so on are neglected in this mode.

Gated

The waveform is output in the same way as in the continuous mode only when the gate is 
opened. The gate is opened by the gated signal.

Note that the output is made from the top of the first waveform for every gate period. The clock 
signal continuously outputs from the connector outside the gate period.

Enhanced

The waveforms are sequentially or repeatedly output according to the procedures defined in 
the sequence. All extended functions such as trigger input, event jump, and so on are effective 
and waveforms are controlled for output by this functions in this mode.
