Advanced Sequencing

NOTE Advanced sequencing is only available through the programatic interfaces.
Advanced sequencing enables the grouping of sequences into scenarios in a
way that is similar to how segments are grouped in sequencing. With
scenarios you gain more control of waveform playback.
Scenario Pointer Source
A scenario handle is written to by the host processor that addresses
scenarios. The handle can be written to at any time including while a
scenario is playing. A valid Start trigger or Jump trigger starts the scenario
specified by the handle.
Scenario Advance Mode
.
The AWG can be configured to play a scenario once or continuously after
starting.
• Single
• Continuous

The scenario plays once and then waits for an advance trigger. While
waiting for a trigger, the value of the last waveform continues to play.
After receiving an advance trigger, the scenario is then played again.
The scenario repeats indefinitely until it is stopped or a scenario jump
trigger is received.
