Burst Count
The burst count defines the number of cycles to be output per burst.
Used in the triggered burst mode only (internal or external source)
– Burst count: 1 to 50,000 cycles, in 1 cycle increments. You can also select an
infinite burst count. The default is 1 cycle.
–
When the Internal trigger source is selected, the specified number of cycles is
output continuously at a rate determined by the burst period setting. The burst
period defines the interval between bursts.
–
When the Internal trigger source is selected, t he burst count must be less than
the product of the burst period and the waveform frequency as shown below.
Burst Count < Burst Period × Waveform Frequency
– The function generator will automatically increase the burst period up to its
maximum value to accommodate the specified burst count (but the waveform
frequency will not be changed).
–When the gated burst mode is selected, the burst count is ignored. However, if
you change the burst count from the remote interface while in the gated mode,
the function generator remembers the new count and will use it when the
triggered mode is selected.
– Front-Panel Operation: To set the burst count, press the #Cycles softkey and
then use the knob or numeric keypad to enter the count. To select an infinite
count burst instead, press the #Cycles softkey a
gain to toggle to the Infinite
softkey (press once to start the waveform, and a second time to stop it).
– Remote Interface Operation:
