Description:
Introduces sudden increases (spikes) in a load for a relatively short period of time, after which the load decreases. Often, the sudden increase is repeated with larger increases. This pattern is useful for tests that run for a short period of time under loads that are heavier than the average. A burst pattern is typically used in robustness testing to test the ability of the device under test to recover after receiving spikes of load.

| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Common Writable Attributes | Active, Name |
| BurstTime |
Enter the duration of the burst. The Duration Units that you select determine the units for this field. Type: u32 Default: 20 |
| Height |
Enter the total amount of load related to the load type (for example, Connections) that the system achieves. To keep the system from overwhelming your network, start small and increase these parameters proportionately. Type: s32 Default: 30 |
| PauseTime |
Enter the pause time between bursts. The Duration Units that you select determine the units for this field. Type: u32 Default: 40 |
| Repetitions |
Enter the number of times that you want the pattern to repeat. The system performs best if you limit your values between 1 and 10. Values above 50 can cause the display to redraw slowly. The actual load generation while running the test will not be adversely affected. Type: u32 Default: 1 |
