Keysight 53230A - Sense:gate:start:source

SENSe:GATE:STARt:SOURce
Syntax
[SENSe:]GATE:STARt:SOURce {IMMediate | EXTernal}
[SENSe:]GATE:STARt:SOURce?
Description
This command selects whether the gate open is enabled immediately following a trigger and trigger
delay, or whether the instrument will wait for the selected edge on the source selected by
SENSe:GATE:EXTernal:SOURce to open the gate when advanced gating is enabled
(SENSe:FREQuency:GATE:SOURce, SENSe:TINTerval:GATE:SOURce, or SENSe:TOTalize:GATE:SOURce
set to ADVanced with the appropriate measurement function selected).
Remarks
l The SENSe:GATE:STARt:SLOPe command selects the active edge on the source selected by
SENSe:GATE:EXTernal:SOURce.
l If SENSe:GATE:STARt:SOURce and SENSe:GATE:STOP:SOURce are both set to IMMediate, the gate
opens immediately following the trigger, trigger delay and gate open (start) delay, and closes after the
stop gate holdoff (SENSe:GATE:STOP:HOLDoff subsystem).
l The instrument sets the start gate source to IMMediate after a Factory Reset (*RST command) or an
Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
Return Format
The query returns the gate open source: IMM or EXT.
Examples
The following example makes a frequency measurement on channel 1. The gate opens on a negative
edge on the Gate In/Out BNC, and closes .25 seconds later:
