To Output a Burst Waveform
You can use the waveform generator to output a waveform with a
specified number of cycles, called a burst. You can control the burst rate
with 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: trigger 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, arbitrary
waveforms, triangle, or PRBS. 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.
