Burst Mode

You can use burst in one of two modes as described below.

  • Triggered (N Cycle) Burst Mode: In this mode, the function generator outputs a waveform with a specified number of cycles (Burst Count) each time a trigger is received. After the specified number of cycles have been output, the function generator stops and waits for the next trigger.
  • External Gated Burst Mode: In this mode, the output waveform is either "on" or "off" based on the level of the external signal applied to the rear-panel Trigger connector. When the gate signal is true, the function generator outputs a continuous waveform. When the gate signal goes false, the current waveform cycle is completed and then the function generator stops while remaining at the voltage level corresponding to the Burst Starting Phase of the selected waveform.
