AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
The Sequence editor is used to create a sequence file. A sequence file is simply a
list of waveform file names that the instrument will output. Additional parameters
like repeat count, event triggering, and conditional jumps allow you to generate
very large and complex output waveforms. You can also specify another sequence
file as an output file. This section describes the features of the Sequence editor.
Tutorial 6: Creating and Running Waveform Sequences on page 2-70 provides
detailed instructions for creating sequence files.
To start the Sequence editor, push EDIT (front)!Edit (bottom)!New Sequence
(side). You can also automatically start the Sequence editor by loading a .seq file
from the EDIT menu file list. Figure 3-30 shows the Sequence editor screen with
an example sequence list. Table 3-33 describes each column of the sequence table,
with more information and procedures on page 3-122. Table 3-34 describes the
bottom menu functions. The sections that follow Table 3-34 describe the menu
operations in detail.
