Center frequency < Fm : the range of the frequency span is ±2× (center frequency – Fmin ); Center frequency ≥ Fm : the range of the frequency span is ±2× ( Fmax - center frequency). Take sine as an example. Fmin is 1 μHz, Fmax is 100 MHz, and Fm is 50 MHz. If the center frequency is 550 Hz, the frequency span range is ±2×(550 Hz–1 μHz) = ±1.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operations 3. RIGOL Manual Trigger In the Manual trigger, when you press Trig on the front panel for one time, one sweep is immediately launched for the corresponding channel. Key Points: When "External" trigger is selected, tap the Trig In to select "RisEdge" or "FallEdge". The rear-panel [CH1/Sync/Ext Mod/Trig/FSK] connector is used as the input terminal of the external trigger signal.

After the start hold time expires, the generator will continue outputting with varied frequencies according to the current sweep type. When the sweep function is enabled, tap the StartHold menu label and use the numeric keypad to modify the start hold time. You can also use the arrow keys and the knob to modify the start hold time.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operations RIGOL Burst DG900 can output the waveforms with a specified number of cycles (Burst) from a single channel or from dual channels at the same time. DG900 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 by using Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse, Noise (only for gated burst), arbitrary waveform, PRBS, RS232, or Sequence.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Front Panel Operations Figure 2-11 N Cycle Burst For N cycle burst, "Internal", "External", or "Manual" trigger source could be selected. Besides, you can also set the parameters of "Period" (internal trigger), "Delay", "Trig In" (external trigger) and "Trig Out" (internal and manual trigger). Infinite Burst 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.
