MODULATION

Burst Mode 
The function generator can create a waveform burst with a 
designated number of cycles. Burst mode supports sine, 
square ,triangle and ramp waveforms. 
 
Selecting Burst Mode 
 
When burst mode is selected, any modulation or 
sweep modes will be automatically disabled. If no 
settings have been configured, the default settings 
for output amplitude, offset and frequency are 
used.  
Burst Modes 
Burst mode can be configured using Triggered (N Cycle mode) or 
Gated mode. Using N Cycle/Triggered mode, each time the 
function generator receives a trigger, the function generator will 
output a specified number of waveform cycles (burst). After the 
burst, the function generator will wait for the next trigger before 
outputting another burst. N Cycle is the default Burst mode. 
Triggered mode can use internal or external triggers. 
The alternative to using a specified number of cycles, Gated mode 
uses the external trigger to turn on or off the output. When the 
Trigger INPUT signal is high, waveforms are continuously output. 
When the Trigger INPUT signal goes low, the waveforms will stop 
being output after the last waveform completes its period. The
