2.28  Outputting a Burst Waveform 
 
 
 
You can configure the 81150A / 81160A to output a waveform with a 
specified number of cycles, called a burst. You can output the burst at a rate 
determined by the internal rate generator or the signal level on the Front 
Panel External In.  
For this example, you will output a three-cycle sine wave with a 20 ms burst 
period. You will not change the other parameters from their default settings: 
internal burst source and 0 degree starting phase.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
Press   to enable or disable burst mode. Notice that a status message 
Burst is shown in the status line.  
 
 
Press the #Cycles softkey and then set the count to “3” using the numeric 
keypad or knob.
