3.13.5 Burst Count
The burst count defines the number of cycles to be output per burst.
Burst count: 2 to 1,000, 000 cycles, in 1 cycle increments. The default
is 2 cycles.
When the Internal trigger source is selected, the specified number of
cycles is output continuously at a rate determined by the Internal
trigger/frequency setting. The Internal trigger frequency defines the
interval between bursts.
When the Internal trigger source is selected, the burst count must be
less than the product of the Internal trigger frequency and the
waveform frequency as shown below.
Burst Count ≤ Internal trigger period x Output frequency
To set the burst count, press the #Cycles softkey and then use the knob or
numeric keypad to enter the count.
