Burst Mode Commands
4
1 Configure the burst waveform.
Use the APPLy command or the equivalent FUNC, FREQ, VOLT, and
VOLT:OFFS commands to select the function, frequency, amplitude,
and offset of the waveform. You can select a sine, square, ramp, pulse,
or arbitrary waveform (noise is allowed only in the gated burst mode
and dc is not allowed). For internally-triggered bursts, the minimum
frequency is 2 mHz. For sine and square waveforms, frequencies above
25 MHz are allowed only with an “infinite” burst count.
2 Select the “triggered” or “gated” burst mode.
Select the triggered burst mode or external gated burst mode using the
BURS:MODE command.
3 Set the burst count.
Set the burst count (the number of cycles per burst) to any value between
1 and 1,000,000 cycles (or infinite) using the BURS:NCYC command.
Used in the triggered burst mode only.
4 Set the burst period.
Set the burst period (the interval at which internally-triggered bursts
are generated) to any value from 1 µs to 500 seconds using the
BURS:INT:PER command. Used only in the triggered burst mode with an
internal trigger source.
5 Set the burst starting phase.
Set the starting phase of the burst to any value from -360 degrees to
+360 degrees using the BURS:PHAS command.
6 Select the trigger source.
Select the trigger source using the TRIG:SOUR command. Used in the
triggered burst mode only.
7 Enable the burst mode.
After you have set up the other burst parameters, use the
BURS:STAT ON
command to enable the burst mode.
