9.1.3.3 FFT gating
Access: [FFT] > "FFT setup" > "Gate" tab
FFT gating allows you to restrict FFT analysis to a certain time base of the input signal.
If no gate is used, you can define the record length as dependent on the RBW, or the
RBW as dependent on the record length (which is defined by the acquisition time).

Use Gate
Enables FFT gating and shows the gate.
If enabled, the "Gate Definition" settings are used.
If disabled, the relation between the record length and the RBW can be defined man-
ually in the "Setup" tab instead.
When a gate is used, the RBW is adapted, if necessary. The smaller the gate, the
higher the RBW.
For details, see Chapter 9.1.1, "Fundamentals of FFT analysis", on page 370.

Defines the gate settings for FFT gating.
