Burst Period
The burst period defines time from the start of one burst to the start of the next
burst. Used in the internal triggered burst mode only.
Keep in mind that burst period is different than the “waveform frequency” which
specifies the frequency of the bursted signal.
– Burst period: 1 μs to 500 seconds. The default is 10 ms.
– The burst period setting is used only when Internal triggering is enabled. The
burst period is ignored when manual or external triggering is enabled (or when
the gated burst mode is selected.).
–It is not possible to specify a burst period which is too short for the function
generator to output with the specified burst count and frequency (see below).
If the burst period is too short, the function generator will automatically adjust
it as needed to continuously
re-trigger the burst.
