Gate Start Time
:CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:STARt
Description: Sets the gate start 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 start time in nanoseconds. Note that
setting this may also change the gate span, stop, and center for both
time and distance gates. If gate coupling is on, then setting the gate
start time also sets the same gate start time 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:STARt functions the
same as this command. The only difference is that with this command,
you must send the start in time units rather than distance units.
Syntax: :CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:STARt <start time>
:CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:STARt?
Cmd Parameter: <NRf> <start time>
Query Response: <NR3> <start time> (time returned in nanoseconds)
Range: –100 ms to +100 ms
Default Value: 4ns
Default Unit: Seconds (s) when setting, nanoseconds (ns) for query.
Example: To set the gate start time for Trace 2 to 6 ns:
:CALC2:FILT:GATE:TIME:STAR 6ns
