What is the importance of waveform sequencing?

Waveform sequencing lets you create multiple configured waveforms that contain multiple common segments. Sorting lets you build complex, long waveforms using as little instrument memory as possible. Waveform sequencing lets you save storage capacity by replaying shorter waveforms at different locations on the signal as needed.

Many tests require long waveform memory records. The required record length may eventually exceed the available waveform memory capacity. Sequencing is one way to increase the length of the signal. During sequencing, different waveform segments are repeated (or played one by one) in a user-defined order.

To create a more efficient workflow for generating arbitrary signals, engineers can use waveform sequencing to build a library of arbitrary waveform signals. They can then reorganize the signals into a sequence to generate new signals.
