Burst Function
The Burst function can generate versatile waveforms in n this mode. Burst times can last a specic number of waveform
cycles (N-Cycle mode), or when an external gated signals (Gated mode) is applied. Any waveform (except DC) may be
used as the carrier, but noise can only be used in Gated mode.
11.1 Burst Type
4060B Series provides three burst types including N-Cycle, Innite and Gated.
The default is N-Cycle.
Burst Type Trigger Source Carrier
N-Cycle Internal/External/ Manual Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse, Arbitrary.
Innite External/Manual Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse, Arbitrary.
Gated Internal/External Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse, Noise, Arbitrary.
Table 11.1 2-20 Relations among burst type, trigger source and carrier
11.1.1 N-Cycle
In N-Cycle mode, the generator will output waveform with a specied number of cycles after receiving the trigger signal.
Waveforms that support N-Cycle burst include sine, square, ramp, pulse and arbitrary.
Press Burst → NCycle → Cycles, and use the numeric keyboard or arrow keys and knob to input the desired cycles. Set
the waveform parameters by using the operation menu, as shown in Figure 2-38 and Figure 2-39.
Function Explanation
NCycle Use the N-Cycle mode.
Cycles Innite Set the number of the bursts in N-Cycle. Set the number of the bursts in N-Cycle to be
innite.
Start Phase Set the start phase of the burst.
Burst Period Set the burst period.
Source Internal Choose internal source as a trigger.
External Choose external source as a trigger. Use the [Aux In/Out] connector at the rear panel.
Manual Trigger a burst by manual.
