SENSe:GATE:STOP:SOURce
Syntax
[SENSe:]GATE:STOP:SOURce {IMMediate | EXTernal}
[SENSe:]GATE:STOP:SOURce?
Description
This command selects whether the gate closes immediately following the stop gate holdoff, or whether
the instrument will wait for the selected edge on the source selected by SENSe:GATE:EXTernal:SOURce
to close the gate when advanced gating is enabled (SENSe:FREQuency:GATE:SOURce, SENSe:TINTer-
val:GATE:SOURce, or SENSe:TOTalize:GATE:SOURce set to ADVanced with the appropriate meas-
urement function selected).
Remarks
l The SENSe:GATE:STOP: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
gate close holdoff (SENSe:GATE:STOP:HOLDoff subsystem).
l The SENSe:GATE:STOP subsystem settings are ignored for rise/fall time, duty cycle, pulse width, phase
and single-period measurements. The measurement completes automatically on the next appropriate
edge on the input channel.
l The instrument sets the stop gate source to IMMediate after a Factory Reset (*RST command) or an
Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
Return Format
The query returns the gate close 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, after .25 seconds, closes on the next positive edge on the BNC.
