8.3 Gate Settings
When the Method control is set to Video or FFT, the Gate Holdoff function has no
effect.
In measurements that do not support "Auto Function" on page 2373, the value
shown when Auto is selected is “---“ and the manually set holdoff is returned to a
query.

Couplings When Gate Holdoff is Auto, the Gate Holdoff control shows the value calculated by the instrument for
the wait time
Pressing the Gate Holdoff control while it is in Auto and not selected, causes the control to become
selected and allows the user to adjust the value. If the value is adjusted, the setting changes to Man
Pressing the Gate Holdoff key, while it is in Auto and selected, does not change the value of Gate
Holdoff, but causes the setting to change to Man. Now the user can adjust the value
Pressing the control while it is in Man and selected, cause the value to change back to Auto
Pressing the control while it is in Man and not selected, causes the control to become selected and
allows the user to adjust the value
When Method is set to Video or FFT, the Gate Holdoff function has no effect

gate signal, the instrument initializes Gate View Sweep Time based on the current
settings of Gate Delay and Gate Length.
