Burst Period
The burst period defines time from the start of one burst to the start of
the next burst. Used in the internal triggered burst mode only.
Keep in mind that burst period is different than the “waveform frequency”
which specifies the frequency of the bursted signal.
• Burst period: 1  s to 8000 seconds. The default is 10 ms .
• The burst period setting is used only when Immediate triggering is
enabled. The burst period is ignored when manual or external
triggering is enabled (or when the
gated burst mode is selected).
• It is not possible to specify a burst period which is too short for the
waveform generator to output with the specified burst count and
frequency (
see below ). If the burst period is too short, the waveform
generator will automatically adjust it as needed to continuously
re-trigger the burst.
• Front-Panel Operation : To set the burst period, press and then
the

softkey. Then use the knob or numeric keypad to
enter the period.
