The burst phase defines the starting phase of the burst.
Burst phase: -360.0 degrees to +360.0 degrees. The default is 0 degree.
From the remote interface, you can set the starting phase in degrees or
radians using the UNIT:ANGL command.
From the front panel, the starting phase is always displayed in degrees
(radians are not available). If you set the starting phase in radians from the
remote interface and then return to front-panel operation, you will see that
the instrument converts the phase to degrees.
For sine waveform, 0 degrees is the point at which the waveform crosses
zero volts (or the dc offset value) in a positive going direction. For arbitrary
waveforms, 0 degrees is the first waveform point downloaded to memory.
The burst phase has no effect on pulse, noise, square and ramp waveforms.
The burst phase is also used in the gated burst mode. When the gate signal
goes false, the current waveform cycle is completed and then the
instrument stops. The output will remain at the voltage level corresponding
to the starting burst phase.
