To Output a Burst Waveform
You can configure the function generator to output a waveform with a
specified number of cycles, called a burst. You can output the burst at a
rate determined by the internal rate generator or the signal level on the
rear-panel Trig In connector. For this example, you will output a
three-cycle sine wave with a 20 ms burst period. You will not change the
other parameters from their default settings: internal burst source and
0 degree starting phase.
1 Select the function and amplitude for the burst.
For burst waveforms, you can select sine, square, ramp, pulse, or
arbitrary waveforms (noise is allowed only in the “gated” burst mode
and dc is not allowed). For this example, select a sine wave with an
amplitude of 5 Vpp.
2 Select the burst mode.
Press and then verify that the “N Cycle” (internally-triggered) mode
is currently selected. Notice that a status message “N Cycle Burst” is
shown in the upper-left corner of the display.
