The difference between gated burst and gated output is that gated burst synchronously starts and stops using full wave-
form cycles, where gated output asynchronously turns instrument output on or off with an external trigger, inde-
pendent of the waveform phase.
[SOURce[1|2]:]BURSt:GATE:POLarity {NORMal|INVerted}
[SOURce[1|2]:]BURSt:GATE:POLarity?
Selects true-high (NORMal) or true-low (INVerted) logic levels on the rear-panel Trig In connector for an externally
gated burst.
Parameter
{NORMal|INVerted}, default NORMal
Select true-low logic for an externally gated burst:
BURS:GATE:POL INV
[SOURce[1|2]:]BURSt:INTernal:PERiod {< seconds >|MINimum|MAXimum}
[SOURce[1|2]:]BURSt:INTernal:PERiod? [{MINimum|MAXimum}]
Sets the burst period for internally-triggered bursts.
Parameter
1 µs to 8000 s, default 10 ms
Sets the burst period to 12 seconds:
BURS:INT:PER 12
The burst period is the time between the starts of consecutive bursts.
l
This is used only when IMMediate triggering is enabled (TRIGger[1|2]:SOURce IMMediate). It is ignored when man-
l
ual or external triggering is enabled (or with gated burst mode).
Burst period must satisfy the formula below. If the burst period is too short, the instrument will increase it as
l
needed to continuously re-trigger the burst.From the remote interface, a "Settings conflict" error will also be gen-
erated.
