To Set the Burst Function
The Burst function can generate versatile waveforms in n this mode. Burst times
can last a specific number of waveform cycles (N-Cycle mode), or when an
external gated signals (Gated mode) is applied. Any waveform (except DC) may
be used as the carrier, but noise can only be used in Gated mode.
Burst Type
T3AFG provides two burst types including N-Cycle and Gated. The default is N-
Cycle.
Table 2-20 Relations among burst type, trigger source and carrier
N-Cycle
In N-Cycle mode, the generator will output waveform with a specified number of
cycles after receiving the trigger signal. Waveforms that support N-Cycle burst
include sine, square, ramp, pulse and arbitrary.
Press Burst → NCycle → Cycles, and use the numeric keyboard or arrow
keys and knob to input the desired cycles. Set the waveform parameters by using
the operation menu, as shown in Figure 2-38 and Figure 2-39.
