The Python script below to setups the Waveform Generator in burst (or N-cycle) mode.
It generates 20 cycles of a 10 MHz sine wave, 2 Vpp; repeating every 200 us.
#
# Moku example: Waveform Generator n-cycle burst mode
#
# This example demonstrates how you can configure the waveform generator
# instrument to generate signals in burst mode for a set number of cycles
# using internal triggering

from moku.instruments import WaveformGenerator
# Launch Waveform Generator and connect to your device via IP
i = WaveformGenerator('192.168.###.###')
try:
# Set output 1 to generate sine wave, 2Vpp, 10 MHz
i.generate_waveform(channel=1, type='Sine', amplitude=2, frequency=10e6)
# Activate trigger for output channel 1
i.set_burst_mode(channel=1, source='Input1', burst_cycles=20, burst_period=200e-6, mode='NCycle', trigger_level=0.1)
finally:
# Close the connection to the Moku device
# This ensures network resources are released correctly
