Burst Mode
You can configure the waveform generator to output a waveform with a
specified number of cycles, called a burst. The waveform generator can
produce a burst using sine, square, triangle, ramp, pulse, PRBS, or
arbitrary waveforms (noise is allowed only in the gated burst mode and
DC is not allowed).
For more information on the fundamentals of the burst mode, refer to
chapter 5, “Tutorial.”
To Select Burst
• The waveform generator will not allow burst to be enabled at the
same time that sweep or any modulation mode is enabled. When you
enable burst, the sweep, list, or modulation mode is turned off.
• Front-Panel Operation: You must enable burst before setting up any
of the other burst parameters. Press
Burst On/Off
to output a burst
using the present settings for frequency, output amplitude, and offset
voltage.
• Remote Interface Operation: To avoid multiple waveform changes,
enable the burst mode after you have set up the other parameters.
