Keysight 53230A - Sense:frequency:burst:gate:auto

SENSe:FREQuency:BURSt:GATE:AUTO
Syntax
[SENSe:]FREQuency:BURSt:GATE:AUTO {OFF | ON}
[SENSe:]FREQuency:BURSt:GATE:AUTO?
Description
This command controls whether the gate setup for measuring the carrier frequency of a burst (pulse fre-
quency) is determined automatically based on the pulse characteristics, or whether the gate open delay
time and gate time are manually controlled.
When manual control, the gate window must be fully within the pulse envelope; oth-
erwise, the measurement results will be unpredictable.
Remarks
l Available only on the Keysight 53230A. Requires option 150.
l Automatic gate setup selection is always used for narrow pulse mode measurements
(SENSe:FREQuency:BURSt:GATE:NARRow ON set).
l When manual control (OFF) is selected, SENSe:FREQuency:BURSt:GATE:DELay and
SENSe:FREQuency:BURSt:GATE:TIME control the measurement gating.
l Automatic selection of gate setup is enabled after a Factory Reset (*RST command) or an Instrument
Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
Return Format
The query returns whether automatic gate setup is enabled: 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON).
Examples
The following example measures the carrier frequency of a burst. The measurement starts 1 uS after the
burst starts with a gate time of 3 uS:
CONF:FREQ:BURS
FREQ:BURS:GATE:AUTO OFF
FREQ:BURS:GATE:DEL 1E-6
FREQ:BURS:GATE:TIME 3E-6
