Argument Description
CONTinuous Selects the continuous mode which continuously outputs waveform or
sequence.
ASTep Selects the auto step mode which outputs one cycle of a waveform or step
of a sequence per trigger. For example, this mode advances one step per
trigger of a sequence stored in an autostep file.
<Autostep File>::=<string>
BURSt Selects the burst mode which outputs <Count> waveform cycles or
sequence steps for each trigger.
<Count>::=<NR1> burst count (range: 1 to 65535)
GATed Selects the gated mode which continuously outputs waveforms or
sequences as long as the trigger remains enabled. The trigger remains
effective as long as any of the following events occur:
H
A valid external gate signal remains input
H
A STARt/*TRG command has been executed but a STOP command
has not yet been issued
TRIGGEREd Selects the triggered mode, which outputs one waveform cycle or sequence
step for each trigger.
WADVance Selects the waveform advance mode which continuously outputs one step of
a sequence, as when advancing one step for each trigger. The repetition
criteria defined in the sequence editor is neglected in this case. Output
continues until next trigger event is generated.
:MODE BURST, 200
sets output for burst mode with 200 waveform cycles.
