Table E-8 shows the Burst Parameter Menu.
Triggered Burst Mode. When a trigger event occurs in the burst mode, the wave-
form is output for the number of cycles specified by the Burst Parameter Menu.
Once the triggered burst mode is selected, the arbitrary/function generator will wait
for a trigger event to occur.
A specified number (burst count) of waveform cycles are output when the instru-
ment receives a trigger input from the internal trigger source, an external trigger
source, a remote command, or the Manual Trigger button.
Gated Burst Mode. In the gated burst mode, the output is enabled or disabled based
on the internal gate signal, an external signal applied to the front panel Trigger
Input connector, or a remote command. While the gate signal is true or the front
panel Manual Trigger button is depressed, the instrument outputs a continuous
waveform.
When the trigger source is set to Internal, the trigger interval can be set. The set-
ting range of trigger interval is 1 ms to 500 s. The default is 1 ms.
When the trigger source is set to External, you can select Positive or Negative as
the trigger slope. The instrument will trigger on the rising edge (Positive) or falling
edge (Negative) of the signal applied to the front-panel Trigger Input connector.
