Gated - External signal at the TRIG IN connector enables the
Model 3152 output. The last cycle of the output waveform is
always completed.
Burst - Each transition at the front panel TRIG IN connector
stimulates the Model 3152 to generate a burst of pre-selected
number of cycles.
Equipment: Pulse/function generator (8021), oscilloscope.
Trigger
1. Configure the Model 3152 as follows:
Function: Sine wave
Frequency: 1.000 MHz
Operating Mode: Triggered
Remote Commands:
:RES
:OUTP ON
:FREQ 1e6
:INIT:CONT
OFF
2. Set the external pulse/function generator
frequency to 10 KHz and connect its SYNC
connector. Set the oscilloscope and verify on the
oscilloscope that the Model 3152 outputs a
triggered signal. Leave the external pulse
generator connected to the Model 3152 for the
next test.
Gate
