Selecting Burst Mode
When burst mode is selected, any modulation or 
sweep modes will be automatically disabled. If no 
settings have been configured, the default settings 
for output amplitude, offset and frequency are 
used. 
 
Burst Modes
Burst mode can be configured using Triggered (N Cycle mode) or 
Gated mode. Using N Cycle/Triggered mode, each time the function 
generator receives a trigger, the function generator will output a 
specified number of waveform cycles (burst). After the burst, the 
function generator will wait for the next trigger before outputting 
another burst. N Cycle is the default Burst mode. Triggered mode 
can use internal or external triggers. 
The alternative to using a specified number of cycles, Gated mode 
uses the external trigger to turn on or off the output. When the 
Trigger INPUT signal is high, waveforms are continuously output. 
When the Trigger INPUT signal goes low, the waveforms will stop 
being output after the last waveform completes its period. The 
voltage level of the output will remain equal to the starting phase of 
the burst waveforms, ready for the signal to go high again.
