To Output a Burst Waveform
To Output a Burst Waveform
You can configure the function generator to output a waveform with a
specified number of cycles, called a burst. You can output the burst at a
rate determined by the internal rate generator or the signal level on the
rear-panel Trig In connector. For this example, you will output a three-
cycle sine wave with a 20 ms burst period. You will not change the other
parameters from their default settings: internal burst source and 0 degree
starting phase.
1 Select the function and amplitude for the burst.
For burst waveforms, you can select sine, square, or ramp waveforms
(pulse, noise, dc, and arbitrary waveforms are not allowed). For this
example, select a sine wave with an amplitude of 5 Vpp.
2 Select the burst mode.
Press
and then verify that the "N Cycle" (internally-triggered)
mode is currently selected. Notice that a status message "N Cycle Burst"
is shown in the upper-left corner of the display.
3 Set the burst count.
Press the # Cycles softkey and then set the count to "3" using the
numeric keypad or knob.
