NOTE Trig Delay (On) and Gate (On) cannot be active at the same time. If 
Trig Delay (On) has been previously selected, it will be reset to 
Trig Delay (Off) when Gate (On) is selected. Conversely, if Gate (On) has 
been previously selected, it will be reset to 
Gate (Off) when 
Trig Delay (On) is selected.
NOTE If Gate (On) is selected without an external trigger signal present, 
operating other functions, such as: tracking, frequency count, or 
preselector centering, may cause the analyzer to stop functioning until 
it is powered on again. 
Gate Control
Edge Level
  Allows you to select between Edge and Level triggering 
of the gate. 
Gate Control (Edge) opens the gate in 
response to an edge trigger on the trigger input after a 
delay set in 
Gate Delay. The gate stays open for the 
selected 
Gate Length. When Gate Control (Level) is 
selected, the gate is open as long as the trigger input is 
true, as defined under the 
Level Gate key.

Edge Gate
  Accesses menu keys that allow you to set up edge 
triggering. 
Key Access:

Slope Pos Neg
  Sets the polarity for edge triggering of 
the gate. When 
Slope (Pos) is pressed, a 
positive-going edge will trigger the 
opening of the gate, after the delay set 
with the 
Gate Delay key. When 
Slope (Neg) is pressed, a negative-going 
edge will trigger the opening of the gate 
after the set delay.

Gate Delay
  Controls the length of time from the 
trigger until the gate is turned on. 
Key Access: 
Sweep, Gate, Edge Gate
Gate Length
  Controls the length of time that the 
gate is on when using edge triggering to 
control the gate.
