Arbitrary Sequence Overview

In addition to allowing you to specify an arbitrary waveform, some function generators allow you to specify a sequence of arbitrary waveforms for the function generator to produce. This class driver defines an arbitrary sequence as a list of arbitrary waveforms to produce. Each waveform in the sequence is repeated a discrete number of times before producing the next waveform. When generating an arbitrary sequence, the waveform properties of Gain, Offset, and Sample Rate, defined in the Arbitrary Waveform Overview apply to all waveforms in the sequence. The following figure illustrates the definition of an arbitrary sequence.
