Burst Period

The burst period defines time from the start of one burst to the start of the next burst.

The number of outputs and the parameter choices vary by instrument. Some of the options described may not be available for a particular instrument. The Function Generator application will only list settings and values that are available for the selected instrument type.

  • Keep in mind that burst period is different than the "waveform frequency" which specifies the frequency of the bursted signal.
  • The Burst Period setting is used only when Internal triggering is enabled. The Burst Period is ignored when manual or external triggering is enabled (or when the Gated burst mode is selected).
