To Generate a Gated Burst Waveform
In the gated burst mode, the output is enabled or disabled based on the internal gate signal or an external signal applied 
to the front-panel Trigger Input connector. While the gate signal is true or the front-panel Manual Trigger button is 
depressed, the instrument outputs a continuous waveform.
Quick Tips
■ The instrument provides the following three trigger sources for Burst mode:
■ Internal or external trigger signal
