Figure 9-2: Burst average parameters
To prevent power drops due to modulation from being erroneously interpreted as the
end of a pulse, you must define the dropout tolerance. The dropout tolerance is a time
interval in which the pulse end is only recognized if the signal level no longer exceeds
the trigger level.
Triggering a burst average measurement
In burst average mode, only internal trigger events from the signal are evaluated, irre-
spective of the setting of the TRIGger:SOURce parameter. The TRIGger:DELay
parameter is also ignored, so that the measurement interval begins exactly when the
signal exceeds the trigger level.
Defining a time interval for the measurement
At the beginning and at the end of the measurement interval, you can define time inter-
vals that are excluded from the measurement, see Chapter 9.8.3, "Excluding intervals",
on page 107.

the signal level no longer exceeds the trigger level. See Figure 9-2.
