might return
MEASUREMENT:MEAS2:SOURCE1: GATE2:PCTPOS 8.00000000000E+001,
indicating that Gate 2 is set at 80% on the Source 1 waveform used for
Measurement 2.
MEASUrement:MEAS<x>:SOUrce<x>:GATE<x>:POS
This command sets or queries the position (in waveform units) of the source gates
for the mea
surement. The measurement, sour ce, and gate are defined as follows:
MEAS<x> where x can be 1 through 8 (a maximum of 8 measurement slots)
SOURCE<x> where x can be 1 or 2 (a maximum of 2 source waveforms)
GATE<x> where x can be 1 or 2 (one pair of gates per source waveform)
Gates are generic, nondirectional markers that segment the area of waveform
data over which measurements are performed. There is no distinction in gates of
stop or sta rt, so they can cross.
Although you can use this command to set the position of a gate in waveform
units, a user cannot directly set the position of a gate in the Measurement Setup
dialog box using waveform units. Instead, the user selects the Region dialog,
enter
s the position as a percentage of the waveform, and then reads the position
in waveform units in the readouts adjacent to the percentage controls for G1
and G2. This is equivalent to setting the position with the MEASUrement
MEAS<x>:SOURCE<x>:GATE<x>:PCTPOS command.
NOTE. The SOURCE<x> SOURCE:<<x> argument specifies the
source, which can be source 1 or source 2. To set the actual waveform
(c
hannel, reference, or math) that is assigned to source, you must use the
MEASUrement:MEAS<x>:SOURCE<x> WFM command. Two sources are
provided because some measurements (gain, phase) require two sources.

Arguments
NR3 is the position of the specified gate in waveform units. The position is
constrained to be ≥TOFP (time o f first point) and ≤TOLP (time of last point).
