Figure 2-3: External Gate Signal and Waveform Output in Gated Mode
Use burst mode to produce a specified number of waveform cycles or sequence
repetitions. In burst mode, the waveform generator waits for a trigger. On
receiving a trigger, the waveform generator generates the specified waveform or
sequence until the output signal reaches the burst count (set the count with the
MODE BURST command, see page 3–57). The trigger can be an external signal or a
START command. The waveform generator ignores any trigger signals during
waveform output.
Figure 2–4 shows the relationship between an example output waveform and
trigger signal (positive slope) in burst mode.
