Defining gated triggering

1. Press the "Gated Trigger" softkey to activate gated triggering (see "Gated Trigger

(On/Off)" on page 320).

2. Press the "Gate Ranges" softkey to open the "Gate Ranges" dialog (see "Gate

Ranges" on page 320).

3. Define the length of the period to be analyzed in the "Period" field.

Note: The period is the same for all traces. If you change the period for one trace,

it is automatically changed for all traces.

Make sure the defined period is not longer than the acquisition time of the current

measurement. Keep in mind that the acquisition time depends on the bandwidth

and the number of samples settings (see "Selecting the number of samples"

on page 313). The current acquisition time is indicated as "AQT" in the channel bar.
