There are 3 different trigger/gate sources:
External (this is default)

the remote interface).
You can issue triggers from the front panel for sweeps and bursts using a
manual trigger or an internal trigger.

“automatic
triggering”
Internal or “automatic” triggering is enabled with the default settings of the
81150A / 81160A. In this mode, the 81150A / 81160A outputs continuously
when the sweep or burst mode is selected.
When using the “automatic” triggering, the ‘Cont’ key is illuminated on the
Front Panel.
