AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual 3-123
1. Push Data Entry (bottom)!Infinity (side) to toggle between On and Off.
2. Alternatively, push the SHIFT on the front–panel and then the INF numeric
key in step 1. Specify the repeat count.
Wait Trigger
The Wait Trigger column lets you set the instrument to wait for a trigger event
before outputting a waveform on the specified sequence table line. Either the
Internal or External trigger source will be used, depending on which is selected in
the SETUP menu. Valid values are On and Off (blank). Wait Trigger functionality
is only valid when the Run Mode is set to Enhanced. Note that this setting is
neglected in the subsequence.
The instrument processes sequence table entries until it encounters a Wait Trigger
set to ON. If the instrument Run Mode is set to Triggered or Enhanced, the
instrument then stops output until it receives a trigger. When the instrument
receives a trigger, it outputs the waveform on the sequence table line that contains
the Wait Trigger, then continues to process the sequence table lines.
Do the following steps to set the Wait Trigger value:
1. Move the cursor to the line in which to set the Wait Trigger value.
2. Move the cursor to the Wait Trigger column.
3. Push Data Entry (bottom).
4. Push Wait Trig. (side) to toggle between On and Off. The Off state is a blank
in the column.
5. Push the CLEAR MENU on the front panel to exit the setting mode.
Goto <N>
The Goto <N> column lets you set an unconditional jump to the specified sequence
table line. The valid number is 1 to 8000. Goto <N> functionality is only valid
when the Run Mode is set to Enhanced. Note that this parameter is ignored if it is
set in a subsequence file.
The instrument processes sequence table entries until it encounters a Goto <N>. If
the instrument Run Mode is set to Enhanced, the instrument jumps to line one of
the table, then continues to process the sequence table lines.
NOTE. The Infinity setting is neglected in the subsequence. The general purpose
knob is assigned to shift the numeric values when Repeat Count has been set. Push
TOGGLE or CLEAR MENU on the front panel to exit the setting mode.
NOTE. By default, the last line of a sequence table always jumps back to line one,
unless you have set another jump destination.
