AFG3000 Series Quick Start User Manual

The arbitrary/function generator can output a burst using standard waveforms such as sine, square, ramp, and pulse, or 
arbitrary waveforms. The instrument allows you to use the following two types of burst modes:

A specified number (burst count) of waveform cycles are output when the instrument receives a 

trigger input from the internal trigger source, an external trigger source, a remote command, or the Manual Trigger button.

The instrument outputs a continuous waveform when an effective gate signal is applied externally, 

when the Manual Trigger button is depressed, when a remote command is applied, or during 50% of the selected internal 
trigger interval.

The following example describes how to generate a double pulse using the burst mode.

1. Select Pulse as an output waveform 

and then push the front-panel Burst 
button.

2. Confirm that 1-Cycle, N-Cycles, or 

Inf-Cycles is selected, which means 
triggered burst mode is enabled.

To generate double pulse, set the burst 
count (N-Cycles) to 2.

3. This is an example of double pulse.

4. This waveform is a trigger output signal.
