How to Use the Burst Function of HDG6000B?

HDG6000B can output a waveform for a specified number of cycles, called a burst.

WisdomAugust

To Output a Burst

You can output the burst at a rate determined by the internal rate generator or the signal level on the

front-panel Sync/Mod/Trig connector. For this example, you will output a three-cycle sine wave with

a 10 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 of the burst.

For burst waveforms, you can select sine, square, ramp, pulse, or arbitrary waveforms (noise is allowed

only in the “gated” burst mode and dc is not allowed). For this example, select a sine wave with an

amplitude of 200mV.

2 Select the burst mode.

Press and then verify that the “N Cycle” (internally-triggered) mode is currently selected.file:///C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\ksohtml5012\wps1.jpg

3 Set the burst count.

Press the countsoftkey and then set the count to “3” using the numeric keypad or knob.

4 Set the burst period.

Press the period softkey and then set the period to 10 ms using the numeric keypad or the knob and cursor

keys. The burst period sets the time from the start of one burst to the start of the next burst.

At this point, the function generator outputs a continuous three-cycle burst (if the output is enabled).

Note:

A. You can generate a single burst (with the specified count) by pressing the Trigger key.

B. You can also use an external gate signal to either turn the burst signal “on” or “off” based on the

external signal applied to the front-panel Sync/Mod/Trig connector.

To Trigger a Burst

You can issue triggers from the front panel for bursts using a manual trigger or an internal trigger.

? Internal triggering is enabled with the default settings of the function generator. In this mode, the

function generator outputs continuously when the burst mode is selected.

? Manual triggering initiates one burst each time you press theTrigger key from the front-panel.

Continue pressing this key to re-trigger the function generator.

the output is disabled). A message

pop up in display when using a manual trigger.

Burst Mode

You can configure the function generator to output a waveform with a specified number of cycles, called

a burst. The function generator can produce a burst using sine, square, ramp, pulse, harmonic or arbitrary

waveforms (noise is allowed only in the gated burst mode and dc is not allowed).
