NOTE.
You cannot modulate, sweep, or burst noise or a DC waveform.
Generate a burst waveform
The instrument can output a burst using standard waveforms such as sine, square,
ramp, and pulse, or arbitrary waveforms. The instrument allows you to use the
following two types of burst modes:
Triggered burst mode.
A speci
fi
ed number (burst count) of waveform cycles
are output when the instrument receives a trigger input from the internal trigger
source, an external trigger source, a remote command, or the Manual Trigger
button.
Gated burst mode.
The instrument outputs a continuous waveform when an
effective gate signal is applied externally, when the Manual Trigger button is
depressed, when a remote command is applied, or during 50% of the selected
internal trigger interval.
