number of repetition to Infinite, the signal will continue to output until you push
the RUN button on the front panel again.
Gated
This button sets the instrument to gated output mode. When you push the RUN
button on the front–panel, the instrument enters the state awaiting a trigger (the
status is Waiting). In the state of waiting for trigger, the instrument outputs the
value of (0 (zero) level + offset). When the trigger signal goes true or you push the
FORCE TRIGGER button on the front–panel, the output begins at the start of the
waveform or sequence data (the status is Running).
While the trigger signal is at the true level or the FORCE TRIGGER button
remains pushed in, the waveform or sequence data is continuously output. When
the trigger signal goes false or you release the FORCE TRIGGER button on the
front–panel, the output stops and the instrument again enters the state awaiting a
trigger.
When the trigger source is Internal, the instrument ignores any
automatically–generated trigger signals while in the Gated mode.
Enhanced
This button sets the instrument to enhanced output mode. While a waveform is
being output, the Enhanced mode operates the same as the Triggered mode except
for the sequence table output. For sequence table output, the Wait Trigger, Goto
<N>, and Jump functions specified in the sequence file are enabled.
Pushing the RUN button on the front–panel toggles the output on and off. The
trigger signal is used only to advance a sequence in which Wait Trigger is stopping
on an ON line. When you push the FORCE EVENT button on the front–panel, the
instrument operates in the same way as when the Logic Jump event signal goes
true.
If the enhanced function is set in the sequence, the output will be as follows:
 Wait Trigger. For an ON line, the instrument awaits the trigger before the
waveform is output. The selected trigger source (External or Internal) is
selected.
 Goto <N>. If you enter the number, the control jumps to the specified sequence
after the current signal is output.
 Logic Jump. When the combination of the event signals connected to the
EVENT IN connector on the rear panel goes TRUE during waveform output
of the line, the control jumps to the specified destination. This also happens
when you push the FORCE EVENT button on the front–panel.
 Table Jump. During waveform output of the line, the control jumps to the
destination specified in the jump table. This depends on the state of the event
signal connected to the EVENT IN connector on the rear panel. For Table
Jump, the FORCE EVENT button will not operate.
