R&S AFQ100A
The Segment Trigger Configuration section is where the trigger for the switch between the segments
of a multi segment waveform is set. Various parameters will be provided for the settings, depending on
the selected trigger source. This section is indicated only if a multi segment waveform is loaded.
Segment Mode -
Trigger
1401.3084.32
Sets the segmented trigger mode of a multi segment waveform. The
segmented trigger mode defines the switch between the segments of
the multi segment waveform. The regular trigger mode for starting the
waveform generation is set with parameters in the Trigger
Configuration section of the dialog. For multi segment waveforms,
retrigger is always enabled.
In the Waveform Diagramm section of the dialog, waveform output is
displayed schematically, depending on the trigger configuration in run
mode and segement mode.
The current segment is output continuously (i.e.
Continuous
cyclically) until a segment trigger event occurs.
Then, the trigger switches to the next segment.
Run Mode "Continuous"
The following segment is output immediately after
a segment trigger event occurs. When the run of
the last segment is finished, signal generation
starts at the beginning.
Run Mode "Single"
The following segment starts to be output
immediately after a segment trigger event occurs.
After finishing the run of the last segment, signal
generation stops. A segment trigger event is
without effect. Restart of signal generation is
triggered by a regular trigger event activated
automatically after a system-imposed signal gap.
