Burst Mode Commands

4

BURSt:GATE:POLarity

{

NORMal

|

INVerted

}

BURSt:GATE:POLarity?

Select whether the function generator uses true-high or true-low logic
levels on the rear-panel Trig In connector for an externally-gated burst.
The default is NORM (true-high logic). The

:POL?

query returns

“NORM” or “INV”.

OUTPut:TRIGger:SLOPe

{

POSitive

|

NEGative

}

OUTPut:TRIGger:SLOPe?

Select a rising or falling edge for the “trigger out” signal. When enabled
using the

OUTP:TRIG

command (see below), a TTL-compatible square

waveform with the specified edge is output from the rear-panel Trig Out
connector at the beginning of the burst. Select “POS” to output a pulse
with a rising edge or select “NEG” to output a pulse with a falling edge.
The default is POS. The

:SLOP?

query returns “POS” or “NEG”.

• When the Immediate (internal) trigger source is selected

(

TRIG:SOUR IMM

command), the function generator outputs a

square waveform with a 50% duty cycle from the Trig Out connector.
The period of the waveform is equal to the specified burst period
(

BURS:INT:PER

command).

• When the External trigger source is selected (

TRIG:SOUR EXT

command) or when the Gated mode is selected (BURS:MODE GAT
command;), the function generator automatically disables the “trigger
out” signal. The rear-panel Trig Out connector cannot be used for
both operations at the same time (an externally-triggered waveform
uses the same connector to trigger the burst).

• When the Bus (software) trigger source is selected (

TRIG:SOUR BUS

command), the function generator outputs a pulse (>1 µs pulse width)
from the Trig Out connector at the beginning of each burst.

OUTPut:TRIGger

{

OFF

|

ON

}

OUTPut:TRIGger?

Disable or enable the “trigger out” signal (used with burst and sweep only).
When enabled, a TTL-compatible square waveform with the specified
edge (

OUTP:TRIG:SLOP

command) is output from the rear-panel

Trig Out connector at the beginning of the burst. The default is OFF.
The

:TRIG?

query returns “0” (OFF) or “1” (ON).
