Operating basics
Quick Tip You cannot modulate or sweep 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.
To Generate a Triggered
Burst Waveform
The following example describes how to generate a double pulse using the burst
mode.
1. Select Pulse as an
output waveform
and then push the
front-panel Burst
button.
2. Con fi rm that 1-Cycle,
N-Cycles, or Inf-Cycles
is selected, which
means triggered burst
mode is enabled.
To generate double
pulse, set the burst
count (N-Cycles) to 2.
3. This is an example of
double pulse.
4. This waveform is a
trigger output signal.
