Operating basics
To Generate a Gated Burst
Waveform
In the gated bur
st mode, the output is enabled or disabled based on the internal
gate signa l or an externa l signal applied to the front-panel Trigger Input connector.
While the g ate signal is true or the front-panel Manual Trigger button is pushed
in, the instrument outputs a continuous waveform.
1. Push the front-panel Burst
button to display the burst
menu.
2. Select Gate.

Quick Tips
The instrument provides the following three trigger sour ces for Burst mode:
Internal or external trigger signal
Manual trigger
Remote command
Once Gate is selected, burst count parameters are ignored.
Sweep a Waveform
The Sweep outp uts a waveform with the output signal frequency varying linearly
or logarithmically.
You can set the following parameters for Sweep:
Start frequency
Stop frequency
Sweep time
