Burst Mode
You can configure the function generator to output a waveform with a
specified number of cycles, called a burst. The function generator can
produce a burst using sine, square, ramp, pulse, or arbitrary waveforms
(noise is allowed only in the gated burst mode and dc is not allowed).
For more information on the fundamentals of the burst mode, refer to
chapter 7, “Tutorial”.
To Select Burst
• The function generator will not allow burst to be enabled at the same
time that sweep or any modulation mode is enabled. When you enable
burst, the sweep or modulation mode is turned off.
• Front-Panel Operation: You must enable burst before setting up any
of the other burst parameters. Press to output a burst using the
present settings for frequency, output amplitude, and offset voltage.
• Remote Interface Operation: To avoid multiple waveform changes,
enable the burst mode after you have set up the other parameters.
