Trigger Type
Trigger type defines the trigger mode: how the waveform plays when triggered, and
you can set the trigger type to continuous, single, segment advance or ext gated.
1) Continuous: Continuous mode repeats the waveform until you turn the signal off or
select a different waveform, trigger mode, or response (Free Run, Trigger & Run,
and Reset & Run).
2) Single: Single mode plays the waveform once.
3) Segment Advance: Segment Advance mode plays a segment in a sequence only if
triggered. The trigger source controls segment–to–segment playing. A trigger
received during the last segment loops play to the first segment in the sequence.
4) Ext Gated: Ext Gated mode triggers the waveform at the first active triggering state,
then repeatedly starts and stops playing the waveform in response to an externally
applied gating signal.
Continuous Mode
The continuous mode can be set to free run, trigger & run or reset & run mode.
1) Free Run: Immediately triggers and plays the waveform; triggers received while the
waveform is playing are ignored.
2) Trigger & Run: Plays the waveform when a trigger is received; subsequent triggers
are ignored.
