Trigger ignored by Agilent 33220A burst mode arbitrary waveform

Dear all, 

Hi all, I am using Agilent 33220A. I am trying to output an arbitrary waveform in the burst mode using labview (connected using a USB). I setup the burst mode (internal trigger) and the waveform. But later after switching output on, the trigger does not work (instrument generate a beep sound). Error generated: output trigger was ignored.

 

vi is attached.

 

The waveform is uploaded correctly. I can verify from the front panel. So the error really happens when triggering.

 

I tried including 2 seconds delay while configuring the burst mode as sometimes the instrument is slow.

 

Can someone help me out. My entire experiment is stuck because of this instrument not triggering when I want it to.

 

Thanks for helping.

Is this also because of delay? I did not include any delays between setting up the equipment. If yes, how much should be the delay?

 

Or this error maybe something else?Thanks for helping.

You posted in an old thread that is already marked as solved.

 

If you require a different solution, you should probably start a new thread. (You can always add a link to this discussion if you think it is related)
