Create a gated burst waveform
The instrument outputs a continuous waveform when an effective gate signal is applied externally,
when the Manual trigger button is pressed, when a remote command is applied, or during 50% of the
selected internal trigger interval.
In the gated burst mode, the output is enabled or disabled based on the internal gate signal or an
external signal applied to the front-panel trigger input connector. While the gate signal is true or the
front-panel Manual trigger button is pushed in, the instrument outputs a continuous waveform.
To create a gated-burst waveform:
1. Select Basic.
2. Select Sine on the CH1 drop-down menu on the touchscreen.
3. Select Burst.
4. Confirm that Gate mode is selected, which enables gated-burst mode.
The following figure is an oscilloscope screen. The top waveform is a trigger output signal. The
bottom waveform is a gated waveform.

NOTE. The instrument provides the following trigger sources for burst mode: Internal or external trigger
signal; manual trigger; or remote command. Once Gate is selected, burst count settings are ignored.
