Burst
DG1000Z can output waveform with specified number of cycles (called Burst) from a
single channel or from dual channels at the same time. DG1000Z supports control of
burst output by internal, manual or external trigger source; supports three kinds of
burst types including N cycle, infinite and gated. The generator can generate burst
using Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse, Noise (only for gated burst) or arbitrary waveform
(except DC).
To Enable Burst Function
Press Burst at the front panel to enable Burst function (the backlight of the key
turns on), and Mod or Sweep function will be automatically disabled (if currently
enabled). The generator will output burst waveform from the corresponding channel
(if currently turned on) according to the current configuration. You can also reset the
burst function menu. Please refer to the introduction in the following text for details.
Burst Type
DG1000Z can output three types of bursts including N cycle, infinite and gated. The
default is N cycle.

N Cycle Int/Ext/Manual
Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse,
Arbitrary waveform (except DC)
Infinite Ext/Manual
Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse,
Arbitrary waveform (except DC)
Gated Ext

Arbitrary waveform (except DC)
N Cycle Burst
In N Cycle mode, the generator will output waveform with specified number of cycles
after receiving trigger signal. Waveform functions that support N cycle burst include
Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse and arbitrary waveform (except DC).
When Burst is enabled, press Type to select “NCycle”. The “Cycles” is highlighted
on the screen and could be edited. At this point, use the numeric keyboard or
direction keys and knob to change the Cycles. The default is 1 and the range is from
1 to 1 000 000 (external or manual trigger) or 1 to 500 000 (internal trigger).
