Features and Function
HDG2000 Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator 46
applied to front-panel TRIG connector. When the gate signal is true, the instrument outputs a
continuous waveform. When the gate signal goes false, the current waveform cycle is
completed and the instrument stops while remaining at the voltage level corresponding to the
starting burst phase of the selected waveform. The noise waveform output stops immediately
when the gate signal goes false.

In gated mode, burst count, burst period, and trigger source are ignored.
In gated mode, you can specify polarity of signal on front-panel TRIG connector
(SOURce<n>:BURSt:TRIGger:SLOPe POSitive|NEGative). Default is Positive.

Burst Count
Number of cycles (1 to 100,000) to be output per burst, used in the triggered burst mode only
(internal or external source).
Number of cycles (1 to 500,000) to be output per burst. The command is valid under N Cycle.
With Internal trigger source, specified number of cycles are output continuously at a rate
determined by burst period. The burst period is the time between the starts of consecutive
bursts.
In gated burst mode, burst count is ignored.

Burst Period
Burst period is the time from the start of one burst to the start of next burst (default 10 ms). Used in
internal triggered burst mode only. Burst period differs from "waveform frequency," which specifies
the frequency of the bursted signal.
Burst period is used only when Immediate triggering(Internal Trigger) is enabled. The burst
period is ignored when manual or external triggering is enabled (or when the gated burst mode
