SENSe:TINTerval:GATE:SOURce
Syntax
[SENSe:]TINTerval:GATE:SOURce {IMMediate | EXTernal | ADVanced}
[SENSe:]TINTerval:GATE:SOURce?
Description
This command selects the gate source for time interval, rise/fall time, duty cycle, pulse width, phase and
single-period measurements.
l IMMediate configures the instrument to start the measurement on the first appropriate input edge after
a trigger and trigger delay following an INITiate:IMMediate, READ?, or MEASure? command, and stop
on the next appropriate edge.
l EXTernal configures the instrument to start 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:TINTerval:GATE:POLarity command 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 ADVanced configures the instrument for advanced gating of the measurement via the SENSe:GATE
commands after a trigger and trigger delay following after an INITiate:IMMediate, READ?, or MEASure?
command.
Remarks
l The instrument sets the gate source to IMMediate after a Factory Reset (*RST command) or an Instru-
ment Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
Return Format
The query returns the time interval gate source: IMM, EXT, or ADV.
Examples
The following example makes a time interval measurement on channel 1 with an external gate:
