Burst Period - Agilent Technologies 33220A User Manual

Burst Period

The burst period defines time from the start of one burst to the start of
the next burst. Used in the internal triggered burst mode only.
Keep in mind that burst period is different than the "waveform frequency"
which specifies the frequency of the bursted signal.
• Burst period: 1 µs to 500 seconds. The default is 10 ms.
• The burst period setting is used only when Internal triggering is
enabled. The burst period is ignored when manual or external
triggering is enabled (or when the gated burst mode is selected).
• It is not possible to specify a burst period which is too short for the
function generator to output with the specified burst count and
frequency (see below). If the burst period is too short, the function
generator will automatically adjust it as needed to continuously
re-trigger the burst.
