N
  ——number of cycles. 
  If the specified burst period is too small, the signal generator will increase it automatically to ensure 
the output of the specified number of cycles. 
Return Format 
The query returns the burst period in scientific notation, with 7 effective digits. For example, 1.000000E-01 
(the burst period is 0.1 s). 
Example 
:SOUR1:BURS:INT:PER 0.1    /*Sets the internal burst period of the N cycle burst of CH1 to 0.1 s.*/ 
:SOUR1:BURS:INT:PER?      /*Queries the internal burst period of the N cycle burst of CH1 and the 
query returns 1.000000E-01.*/

Remarks 
  DG2000 can output three types of bursts, including N cycle, Infinite and Gated. 
  In N Cycle mode, the generator will output waveforms with a specified number of cycles after receiving 
the trigger signal. The waveform functions that support the N cycle burst include Sine, Square, Ramp, 
Pulse, Arbitrary, PRBS, RS232, and Sequence. For N cycle burst, "Internal", "External", or "Manual" 
trigger source could be selected. Besides, you can also set the parameters of "Burst Period" (internal 
trigger), "Delay", "Trig In" (external trigger), and "Trig Out" (internal and manual trigger). 
  In Infinite mode, the cycle number of the waveform is set as an infinite value. The generator outputs 
a continuous waveform after receiving a trigger signal. The waveform functions that support the 
Infinite burst include Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse, Arbitrary, PRBS, RS232, and Sequence. For the 
Infinite burst, "External" or "Manual" trigger source could be selected. Besides, users can set the 
parameters of "Delay", "Trig In" (external trigger), and "Trig Out" (manual trigger). 
  In the gated burst mode, the signal generator controls the waveform output according to the level of 
the external signal input from the rear-panel [Sync/Ext Mod/Trig/FSK] connector of the 
corresponding channel. The waveform functions that support the Gated burst include Sine, Square, 
Ramp, Pulse, Noise, Arbitrary, PRBS, RS232, and Sequence. Gated Burst could only be triggered by 
"External" trigger source. 
  When [:SOURce[<n>]] or [<n>] is omitted, the system sets the related parameters of CH1 by default. 
Return Format 
The query returns TRIG, INF, or GAT.
