Keysight 53230A - Sense:gate:external:source

SENSe:GATE:EXTernal:SOURce
Syntax
[SENSe:]GATE:EXTernal:SOURce {BNC | INPut[1] | INPut2}
[SENSe:]GATE:EXTernal:SOURce?
Description
This command selects the source for external gating of measurements when advanced gating is selected.
This source is used when either SENSe:GATE:STARt:SOURce or SENSe:GATE:STOP:SOURce is set to
EXTernal.
l BNC configures the instrument to gate the measurement using the Gate In/Out BNC after a trigger and
trigger delay following after an INITiate:IMMediate, READ?, or MEASure? command. The
SENSe:GATE:STARt:SLOPe and SENSe:GATE:STOP:SLOPe commands controls the polarity of the Gate
In/Out BNC. The Gate In/Out BNC cannot be used to externally gate a measurement while generation
of the gate signal is enabled (OUTPut:STATe ON set).
l INPut[1] configures the instrument to gate the measurement using the channel 1 input after a trigger
and trigger delay following after an INITiate:IMMediate, READ?, or MEASure? command. The
SENSe:GATE:STARt:SLOPe and SENSe:GATE:STOP:SLOPe commands command controls the polarity
of the input signal. Channel 1 cannot be involved in the measurement and must be configured for fixed
input threshold voltage (INPut{1|2}:LEVel{1|2} command). This source is only available for frequency,
frequency ratio, average period, PRF, PRI, and totalize measurements.
l INPut2 configures the instrument to gate the measurement using the channel 2 input after a trigger
and trigger delay following after an INITiate:IMMediate, READ?, or MEASure? command. The
SENSe:GATE:STARt:SLOPe and SENSe:GATE:STOP:SLOPe commands command controls the polarity
of the input signal. Channel 2 cannot be involved in the measurement and must be configured for fixed
input threshold voltage (INPut{1|2}:LEVel{1|2} command). This source is only available for frequency,
frequency ratio, average period, PRF, PRI, and totalize measurements.
Remarks
l The instrument sets the gate source to the Gate In/Out BNC after a Factory Reset (*RST command) or
an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
Return Format
The query returns the external gate source: BNC, INP, or INP2.
