Source (Internal)
External 2
Sets the trigger input for the current step to External 2.
Transition Time
Allows you to specify the transition time for the current step.
The transition time is the amount of time allowed for the source to settle at the current frequency or
amplitude value.
Transition Time should not be taken as additional time before or inside the Step Duration. You can set a
value for the settling time to allow the source output frequency or amplitude to become stable. Make sure
that during this period of time, you do not use the source output signal.
The following table lists recommended values for appropriate settling times to allow for changes within
the source.
If the Transition Time value is shorter than the time necessary for the hardware to settle and a List
Sequence is initiated, a warning is generated.
If the Transition Time value is longer than the Step Duration, an error is generated when initiating a
source list sequence. For source list sequence, transition time is included in the step duration length. If
the Transition Time value is longer than the Step Duration Time, the real step duration length is extended
to equal the transition time and cause a timing shift.
