Gate Span Distance
:CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:DISTance:SPAN
Description: Sets the gate span distance for the given trace. <Tr> is the trace
number in the range of 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the
<Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. The query version of this
commands returns the current gate span in millimeters. Note that
setting this may also change the gate start, stop, and center for both
time and distance gates. If gate coupling is on, then setting the gate
span also sets the same gate span for all traces. Note that setting this
also sets the given trace as the active trace if it is not already active.
Note that the command
:CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:SPAN functions the same
as this command. The only difference is that with this command, you
must send the span in distance units rather than time units.
Syntax: :CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:DISTance:SPAN
<span distance>
:CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:DISTance:SPAN?
Cmd Parameter: <NRf> <span distance>
Query Response: <NR3> <span distance>
Range: 0 m to 3000 m
Default Value: 4110 mm
Default Unit: Meters (m) when setting. Millimeters (mm) for query. Note that if the
distance unit is in feet, then both setting and query are in feet.
Example: To set the gate span distance for Trace 3 to 7 m:
:CALC3:FILT:DIST:SPAN 7
