New with the AFG31000, Advanced mode provides the ability to

generate multiple waveforms with complex timing. In this mode, you

can compose a list (or a sequence) of 1 to 256 waveforms, with total

waveform length up to 16 Mpts/ch (128 Mpts/ch optional) and define

the ouput sequence of these waveforms. Repeat, go-to, wait, jump,

and triggered events are all supported and the large memory provides

space to store many waveforms or long waveforms.

This feature is very useful in applications where many test cases need

to be performed sequentially. Instead of loading the test cases one

by one, you can put all of them in a sequence and load at one time,

switching from one to another seamlessly to greatly improve the test

efficiency.

Advanced mode lets you build complex waveform sequences with flexible step controls

Sequenced sine waveforms with different frequency and amplitude.

Additionally, Advanced mode uses variable sample rate technology.

Every sample in a waveform is output once and only once in each

cycle, synchronized to the sample rate. Since there is no skipping or

repetition, all details in the waveforms are kept. This feature is very

useful for applications in which signal fidelity is extremely critical, such

as IQ modulation and pulse train generation.

the DUT

Most waveform generators assume they are driving a 50 Ω impedance.

However, most devices under test do not have a 50 Ω impedance. This

mismatch results in an inconsistency between the waveform as set on

the AFG and the signal at the DUT.
