Generating Burst Waveforms
Specific waveform types may be burst using WaveStation. Sine, Square,
Ramp, or Arb waveforms may be set to an N-Cycle Burst, while Noise is the
only waveform type available for a Gated Burst.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

It's important to understand the relationship between the Main
Waveform Type buttons, the Waveform Signal Conditioning function
buttons, and the Save/Recall, Utility, and Help function buttons. See
Combined Use of Waveform, Function, and Configuration Buttons (on
page 17).

Default values for many controls can be set using certain options
available on the Utility menu. Learn more in Main Utility Operations (on
page 52).
The first step in creating a burst waveform is to press the Burst button on
the Front Panel.
After pressing the Burst button on the Front Panel, select the desired
modulated waveform type using the Display Menu Operation buttons. The
waveform is shown on the Waveform Display.
At this point, use the Display Menu Operation buttons to select applicable
parameters and make adjustments as desired.
A good portion of the waveform operation buttons control two separate
parameters. Operation buttons controlling two parameters have
additional, lighter shaded function labels on them; press the button once to
adjust the top control parameter; twice to adjust the bottom one. Make
adjustments using the Digital Input Front Panel Controls.
Second operation button press parameters are shown in reverse color on
the waveform detail dialog to provide a visual indication as to which
parameter is being adjusted in the detail dialog.
Some parameters look like they're first/second press shared and really are
not. Instead the parameter title is shown in the top portion and the lower
portion displays the particular parameter selection.
