I want to use a sequence of segments with the external trigger control on a 33522B.
I want each segment to be played with each trigger event - which seems to work after reading the manual.
But what happens when all segments are already played and a new trigger occurs?
Does the whole sequence start from the beginning? Can I set this to different modes as well? Like restart the whole sequence, stop after the sequence, aso
Thank you

However if you get creative, you have options.
For example, if you only want to run through a sequence once, then have the function generator just stay at 0VDC, you could create a 0 VDC arb waveform and use it as the last segment of your sequence, then set it to repeatInf. All triggers would be ignored, and the function generator will continue to output the 0 VDC signal until you send an ABORT command. As soon as you send ABORT, the sequence will start over.
Here are the play control choices, these specify how the arb is to be played in the sequence. Valid choices are:
“once”- play once
“onceWaitTrig”- play once and wait for trigger to advance.
“repeat”- repeat number of times specified by repeat count
“repeatInf”- repeat until stopped (infinite)
“repeatTilTrig” - repeat until triggered then advance
Another way to go about it is create a DC arb at the beginning of your sequence, set it to repeatTilTrig, but turn INIT:CONTINUOUS OFF. All Triggers will be ignored until you turn INIT:CONTINUOUS back on.
Like I said, if you get creative, you have a lot of choices.
Let me know if you have more questions.
