Combining Parameters for Signal Generation Using the Agilent 81133A/81134A Pulse Generator

Agilent 81133A/81134A Pulse Generator User’s Guide, September 2008 69

– Data in either RZ, R1 or NRZ format

– Pseudo random bit stream (PRBS) polynomials

For details on these signals, see “Pattern Modes” on page 70.

•Burst Mode

This mode enables you to generate a burst consisting of data

repeated n times followed by continuous zero data.

In Burst mode, exactly one burst of data is output after either:

– Applying a external signal at the start input.

– Asserting a manual trigger on one of the remote interfaces.

– Pressing the start button on the user interface.

A burst consists of data packets repeated a selectable number of

times (in data pattern mode).

• Repetitive Burst Mode

This mode enables you to generate a repetitive burst consisting

of data repeated n times. A pause of zeros is inserted between

two successive bursts.

The repetitive burst is specified by two numbers. The first

number (n) defines how often the specified data is repeated. The

second number (p) defines the length of the pause that follows

the repeated data.

The length of the pause is calculated by:

p x Length of Data Packets
