Figure 5-5 Gate source sequence.
Typical counter measurements and most applications use an internal signal as the
gate source to control the gate for a specified (or default) period of time.
For applications requiring synchronization with external events or requiring more
precise gate control, an external gate or advanced gating is used. External gate
signals are applied to the counter’s rear panel ‘Gate In/Out’ BNC or to the channel
1 or channel 2 input.
