BURSt Subsystem
Parameter Typical Return
-360 to +360 degrees, or -2π to +2π radians, as specified by UNIT:ANGLe. Default 0. +6.0000000000000E+01
Set starting burst phase to 60 degrees:
UNIT:ANGLE DEG
BURS:PHAS 60
l Note that BURSt:PHASe is used instead of output phase, and when burst is enabled, the output phase is set to 0.
l For sine, square, and ramp, 0 degrees is the point at which the waveform crosses 0 V (or DC offset) in a positive-
going direction. For arbitrary waveforms, 0 degrees is the first waveform point. Start phase has no effect on noise.
l For arbitrary waveforms, BURSt:PHASe is only available if the waveform is 1,000,000 points or less.
l Start phase also used in gated burst mode. When the gate signal goes false, the current waveform cycle finishes,
and output remains at the voltage level of the starting burst phase.
[SOURce[1|2]:]BURSt:STATe {ON|1|OFF|0}
[SOURce[1|2]:]BURSt:STATe?
Enables or disables burst mode.
Parameter Typical Return
{ON|1|OFF|0}, default OFF 0(OFF)or1(ON)
Enable burst mode:
BURS:STAT ON
l Output phase is set to 0 when burst is enabled.
l To avoid multiple waveform changes, enable the burst mode after configuring the other burst parameters.
l The instrument will not allow the burst mode 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.
