Using Waveform Triggers
Using Waveform Triggers
The ARB modulation formats and the dual ARB player includes several different triggering
options: single, gated, segment advance, and external.
Using Segment Advance Triggering
Using this procedure, you learn how to control sequence playback of two waveform segments
using segment advance triggering.
If you have not created and stored a waveform sequence, complete the steps in the previous
sections, “Creating Waveform Segments” on page 77, “Building and Storing a Waveform
Sequence” on page 79, and “Storing Waveform Segments to Non-Volatile Memory” on page
82.
Selecting a Waveform Sequence for Play-Back
1. Press
Preset.
2. Press
Mode > Dual ARB > Select Waveform.
3. Highlight a waveform sequence file.
4. Press
Select Waveform.
Configuring the Waveform Sequence Trigger
1. Press Trigger > Segment Advance.
2. Press
Trigger > Trigger Setup > Trigger Source > Trigger Key.
This programs the sequencer to stop the playback of the current waveform segment and
start the playback of the next waveform segment in the sequence when a trigger is
received from the front panel
Trigger hardkey.
Generating the Waveform Sequence
Press
Return > Return > ARB Off On to On.
The first waveform in the sequence is now playing and modulating the RF carrier.
Configuring the RF Output
1. Press
Frequency > 890.01 > MHz.
