ML248xA / ML249xA Common Procedures

5-40 13000-00162

September 2005

Note: The difference between an active gate and an enabled gate should be made clear.

Enabled An enabled gate is a gate that has been enabled for viewing but one for which

measurement data is not made available unless operating the ML248xA /

ML249xA remotely over a GPIB connection. All four of the gates can be

enabled simultaneously.

Active: The active gate is the gate that is currently selected and being used as the

boundary for the acquisition of data.
