Explanation  DG1000Z can output N cycle, infinite and gated bursts.
 In the N cycle burst mode, the signal generator outputs waveform with the
specified number of cycles when receiving the trigger signal. The waveform
functions that support the N cycle burst include sine, square, ramp, pulse and
arbitrary waveform (except DC). For the N cycle burst, “Internal”, “External” or
“Manual” trigger source can be used. Besides, you can set the “Burst Period”
(internal trigger), “Delay”, “Trigger Input” (external trigger) and “Trigger
Output” (internal trigger and manual trigger).
 The infinite burst is equivalent to setting the number of cycles of the waveform
to infinite. The signal generator outputs continuous waveform when receiving
the trigger signal. The waveform functions that support infinite burst include
sine, square, ramp, pulse and arbitrary waveform (except DC). For the infinite
burst, “External” or “Manual” trigger source can be used. Besides, you can set
the “Delay”, “Trigger Input” (external trigger) and “Trigger Output” (manual
trigger).
 In the gated burst mode, the signal generator controls the waveform output
according to the level of the external signal inputted from the
[Mod/Trig/FSK/Sync] connector of the corresponding channel at the rear
panel. The waveform functions that support the gated burst include sine,
square, ramp, pulse, noise and arbitrary waveform (except DC). For the gated
burst, only “External” trigger source can be used.
 When [:SOURce[<n>]] or [<n>] is omitted, the system sets the related
parameters of CH1 by default.
Return Format The query returns TRIG, INF or GAT.
Example :SOUR1:BURS:MODE TRIG /*Set the burst type of CH1 to N cycle*/
:SOUR1:BURS:MODE? /*Query the burst type of CH1 and the query
returns TRIG*/
