"Level"
The trigger event for the gate to open is a particular power level.
After the gate signal has been detected, the gate remains open until
the signal disappears.
Note: If you perform gated measurements in combination with the IF
Power trigger, the R&S FSW ignores the holding time for frequency
sweep, FFT sweep, zero span and I/Q mode measurements.
This mode is not supported when using R&S Power Sensors as
power triggers ("Trg/Gate Source" = Power Sensor or External).

Gate Delay
Defines the delay time between the gate signal and the continuation of the measure-
ment.
The delay position on the time axis in relation to the sweep is indicated by a line
labeled "GD".
For more information see Chapter 8.6.2.1, "Gated Measurements", on page 488

Gate Length
Defines how long the gate is open when it is triggered.
The gate length can only be set in the edge-triggered gate mode. In the level-triggered
mode the gate length depends on the level of the gate signal.
The gate length in relation to the sweep is indicated by a line labeled "GL".

8.6.2.3 Continuous Gate Settings
Access: "Overview" > "Trigger" > "Trigger / Gate Config." > "Cont. Gate" tab
Continuous gating allows you to perform a continuous gated sweep after a single
external trigger is received.
