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 amount of
time that elapses between bursts with the internal timer or the signal
level on the rear-panel Ext Trig connector. For this example, you will
output a three-cycle sine wave with a 20 ms burst period.
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.
