Hi Don, The only supported way to stop transmissions from SDRu Transmitter block is to insert "zeros" to the signal stream when you do not want to transmit. You need to keep feeding the transmitter with data (zeros or real data).
The burst mode is designed to enable the use of these blocks when the algorithm that supplies the transmitter (or the algorithm that consumes the output of the receiver block) cannot run in real-time. In this case, you can run your algorithm non-real-time, create your samples to be transmitted as a burst and pass to the block. Then the block will transmit these signals without any spaces between the frames. This will result in an RF stream that has properly transmitted bursts of frames separated by empty/un-defined spots.

We run with two laptops and two X310 USRPs and we can continuously sends Pings between the two laptops. We get no underruns and everything works fine as long as the data stream is continuous to the USRP (SDRu Transmitter block). Now we want to use the USRPs in burst mode where we only want the USRP to transmit when data is present. We have tried several combinations of setting the Enable Burst Mode checkbox in both the SDRu Transmitter and SDRu Receiver block. We have also tried putting an Enable on the SDRu Transmitter block. We have tried sending from 1-8 frames periodically to the SDRu Transmitter block. We put a scope on the receive side and never see a corresponding reception that shows only the frames we thought we sent. Question: How do we get the SDRu Transmitter to transmit only when frames are sent to it?
