I want to automate my function generator, Keysight 33500B, to a burst mode. The waveform is sine wave with 1MHz frequency. The burst period is 1s, number of cycles is 60. I am quite new in Labview (less than a week). I have downloaded the driver (Agilent 3352X Series) for my function generator, but didn't find a .vi example that has a burst mode from the driver's example folder. Does anyone has a .vi project that has the example showing how to automate the function generator with a burst mode?
Thanks in advance!

That Instrument driver is capable of doing that.
But, I will be very honest with you, this is not a starter project! That Instrument has a lot of capabilities and certainly, there is no way that every operation mode will have an example.
The positive side:
There are examples of other operating modes. Essentially; open session, set mode, set mode parameters, configure output level, configure trigger, run, close session. Use those and substitute burst mode and burst parameters.
The manual is written very well and conforms to keysight standard format. So, if you are used to reading a manual, you should be able to find out about modes and parameters. If you are not used to reading the friendly manual (RTFM) you have a great personal learning experience ahead.
The driver documentation is first rate study it.
Again, I would never assign that task to a novice.
