Filters
Description Filters can be switched in and out freely except in
standard waveform shape where the filters are
automatically used by the instrument to reconstruct
the sine shape.
Type 25 MHz Bessel
50 MHz Bessel
60 MHz Elliptic
120 MHz Elliptic
General Run Modes
Description Define how waveforms start and stop. Run modes
description applies to all waveform types and
functions, except where noted otherwise.
Continuous Continuously free-run output of a waveform.
Waveform generation can be enabled and disabled
from a remote interface only.
Triggered Upon trigger, outputs one waveform cycle. Last
cycle always completed. Trigger can be internal or
external.
Burst Upon trigger, outputs a single or multiple pre-
programmed number of waveform cycles. (Does
not apply to Sequence Mode). Burst is
programmable from 1 through 1M cycles. Bust
triggering can be internal or external.
Gated Transition or level enables or disables generator
output. Last cycle always completed
