Gate Span Time
:CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:SPAN
Description: Sets the gate span time 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
command returns the current gate span in nanoseconds. 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]:DISTance:SPAN functions the
same as this command. The only difference is that with this command,
you must send the span in time units rather than distance units.
Syntax: :CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:SPAN <span time>
:CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:SPAN?
Cmd Parameter: <NRf> <span time>
Query Response: <NR3> <span time> (time returned in nanoseconds)
Range: 0 ms to 2000 ns
Default Value: 12 ns
Default Unit: Seconds (s) when setting, nanoseconds (ns) for query.
Example: To set the gate span time for Trace number 3 to 6 ns:
:CALC3:FILT:GATE:TIME:SPAN 6ns
