Waveform Sequencing
The AWG utilizes a very flexible and powerful waveform sequencer to play simple or
complex waveforms which can be built from several common waveform segments.
Each output channel has its own independent sequencer. Channel sequencers can be
synchronized as required to create tightly aligned channels required for I/Q baseband
signals.
The waveform sequencer gives the user the ability to create long, complex waveforms
while using minimal sample memory. The sequencer operates as follows (see figure 3):
– Each waveform segment is composed of waveform samples.
– Waveform sequences are built by combining waveform segments.
– Segments and sequences can also be combined as needed to create desired
signals.
– Repeat loops can be used to repeat individual segments or the entire waveform
sequence itself. These repeat loops can be nested up to 8 deep.
– The sample rate for the waveform samples is based on the channel sample rate
setting which can be different for each channel.
– Both hardware and software triggers can be used to control how to advance from
one waveform segment to the next within a sequence.
