Figure 5-20: The User Interface of N-Cycle Burst
(1) When the output signal is Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse or Arbitrary waveform, press the
Mod button, then press F3 to select Burst.
(2) Press , , , or button to choose the waveform. Take Sine for
instance, press to display the waveform and parameters. You can change the
parameters, please refer to To set signals on page 12. Press button again to
return to the Burst mode interface.
(3) Press F3 to switch to N Cycle.
(4) Press F1 to select Burst Period, set it to the desired value.
(5) Press F2 to select Start Phase (if current waveform is Pulse, skip this step), define
the Start and the Stop Point in a waveform. The phase varies from -360° to +360°. For
an Arbitrary Waveform, 0° is the first waveform point.
(6) Press F4 to select Cycles or Infinite. Set the number of Waveform Cycle in an
N-Cycle (from 1 to 50,000). If you choose Infinite, then a continuous waveform will
be generated which will not stop until a trigger event happens (the knob on the front
panel is pressed).
Note:
● If needed, Burst Period will increase to cater to the specific number of cycles.
● For an infinite-cycle Burst, External or Manual Trigger is needed to activate burst.
(7) Press F5 to select the source. Internal means using the internal source. External
means using the Ext Trig/Burst/Fsk In connector in the rear panel to input the
external signal. Manual means choosing manual trigger; in N-Cycle Burst interface,
press the knob on the front panel to output a burst signal.
