Enabling gate signals on the ‘gate in/out’ BNC
For timing and synchronization with other instruments gate signals from sources 
Time (internal), IMMediate (internal), and INPut[1]/INPut2 
(Chan 1 and Chan 2 softkeys) 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 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 - the polarity of the gate signal output from the "Gate Out" BNC is a 
rising (positive) edge. INVerted - the gate signal polarity is a falling (negative) 
edge.
