[SENSe:]GATE:STARt:DELay:EVENts {<count> | MINimum | MAXimum | DEFault}
[SENSe:]GATE:STARt:DELay:EVENts? [{MINimum | MAXimum | DEFault}]
Description
This command selects the gate open delay event count when SENSe:GATE:STARt:DELay:SOURce is set to
EVENts.
Parameters
Name Type Range of Values Default Value
<count> Numeric 1 to 99,999,999
MIN = 1
MAX = 99,999,999
1
Remarks
l For two-channel time interval and phase measurements, delay events are counted on the start channel.
For frequency ratio measurements, delay events are counted on the denominator channel.
l The instrument sets the gate open delay event count to 1 after a Factory Reset (*RST command) or an
Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
Return Format
The query returns the gate open delay event count in the form +100.
Examples
The following example makes a frequency measurement on channel 1. The gate opens 5 events after a
negative edge on the Gate In/Out BNC, and, after .25 seconds, closes on the next positive edge on the
BNC.
