Burst Period
Burst period is only available for N cycle burst in the internal trigger. It is defined as
the time from the start of a burst to the time when the next burst starts.
Burst Period ≥ 1 μs + waveform period × number of bursts. Wherein, the
⚫
waveform period indicates the period of burst function (e.g. Sine and Square).
If the burst period currently set is too small, the generator will increase this
⚫
period automatically to allow the output of the specified number of cycles.
When the Shift key is illuminated, press Home/Menu → Burst → "NCycle" to
enable the N Cycle burst. Tap the Source menu label to select "Internal", and then
tap the Period menu label to input the desired period by using the numeric keypad.
You can also use the arrow keys and the knob to input a desired period. By default, it
is 10 ms, and its available range is from 1 μs to 500 s.
Idle Level
In burst mode, the generator outputs the carrier waveform with a specified number
of cycles and then outputs a level, as shown in the figure below. The level is defined
as idle level.
When Burst is enabled, tap Idle Level to select your desired menu to set the idle
level.
1.
1st Point
Sets the level at the first point of the carrier waveform as the idle level.
2.
Top
Sets the level at the top point of the carrier waveform as the idle level.
3.
Center
Sets the level at the center point of the carrier waveform as the idle level.
4.
Bottom
Sets the level at the bottom point of the carrier waveform as the idle level.
5.
User
Sets the level at the specified point of the carrier waveform as the idle level.
