Keysight 53210A - Enabling Gate Signals on the Gate In;Out BNC

5 Triggering and Gating
144 Keysight 53210A User’s Guide
When using external source
INPut[1], the channel selected as the gate source
cannot be the same channel on which the measured signal is applied. That is, the
gate source channel cannot be involved in the measurement.
Enabling Gate Signals on the ‘Gate In/Out’ BNC
For timing and synchronization with other instruments, gate signals from source
TIME (internal) and INPut[1]can be routed to the rear panel
‘Gate In/ Out’ connector and assigned a polarity using the commands:
OUTPut[:STATe] {OFF|ON}
OUTPut[:STATe]? (query form)
OUTPut:POLarity {NORMal|INVerted}
OUTPut:POLarity? (query form)
– ON enables “Gate Out” - gate signals from sources TIME and INPut[1] are
routed to the rear panel BNC.
–
OFF disables “Gate Out” - the BNC is an external (“Gate In”) source. Therefore,
OUTPut:STATe OFF must be set when the gate source is EXTernal.
NORMal selects a rising (positive going) signal; INVerted selects a falling (negative
going) signal.
