PATTERN Screen

NOTE:

Make sure that in the

|MODE/TRG| screen the pattern operating mode

is selected. Please refer to “Available Operating/Trigger Modes” on page
47.

Access the pattern entry (PATTERN) menu screen by pressing the

|PATTERN|

softkey. This screen has to be accessed for pattern entry

when data streams in Pattern operating mode will be set up.

NOTE:

A signal with a number of pulses followed by a pause is what we
would call a burst signal. Such burst signals are recommended to
be set up in the burst mode, as this is done more quickly and easier
as it would be in the pattern mode.
