either Linear or Log spacing for your sweep waveform.

 Direction - Press this operation button to toggle between an

upward (↑) or downward (↓) sweep direction for your

waveform.

Generating Burst Waveforms

Specific waveform types may be burst using the WaveStation. Sine,

Square, Ramp, or Arb waveforms may be set to an N-Cycle Burst, while

Noise is the only waveform type available for a Gated Burst.

The first step in creating a burst waveform is to press the Burst button on

the Front Panel (on page 13).

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

 When using WaveStation (or any signal generator) it's important

to understand the relationship between the Main Waveform Type

buttons, the Waveform Signal Conditioning function buttons, and

the Save/Recall, Utility, and Help function buttons. See Combined

Use of Waveform, Function, and Configuration Buttons (on page

23).

 Default values for many controls can be set using certain options

available on the Utility menu. Learn more in Main Utility

Operations (on page 62).

This section covers burst waveform creation and making specific

adjustment/selection parameter choices - all of which vary based on the

specific function and carrier waveform selection made.

While details around creating waveforms and adjusting specific

parameters (which vary based on the specific burst waveform) are

covered here, the following section covers some menu control

considerations.

For more information on getting to this point, see Navigating Interfaces,

Adjusting Parameters, and Making Selections (on page 16).
