Generate a burst waveform
The instrument can output a burst using standard waveforms such as sine,
square,
ramp, and pulse, or arbitrary waveforms (You cannot select noise).
The instrument allows you to use the
following two types of burst mode:
Triggered burst mode. A specified number of waveform cycles are
output when the instrument receives a trigger input from the internal
trigger
source, an external trigger source, or the Manual Trigger button
(the general purpose knob can be used to push for Manual Trigger).
Gated burst mode. The instrument outputs a continuous waveform
when an
effective gate signal is applied externally.
To generate a triggered
burst waveform
1. Select a waveform and
then push the front-panel
Mod button.
In this example, use the
sine waveform as an
output waveform.
2. Press Burst.
NOTE: You cannot select noise
waveform as an output waveform.
3. Press N_Cycle/Gated to select
N_Cycle.
4. Press Trigger to select Internal,
External or Manual.
Internal means using the
internal trigger source. Press
Trigger Interval to set the trigger
interval.
External means using the
Fsk/Ext Trig In connector on the
rear panel to input the external
triggered signal. Press Slope to
switch between Positive and
Negative.
Manual means choosing manual
trigger; in Triggered Burst mode,
push the general purpose knob on
the front panel to output a burst
signal.
5. Press Start Phase to set start
phase. The start phase defines the
initial phase where the waveform
output begins at, and it may vary
from -360 to 360. For an arbitrary
waveform, 0°is the first waveform
point.
