Sets the gate center time for the given trace. <Tr> is the trace number in the range of 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. The query version of this command returns the current gate center in nanoseconds. Note that setting this may also change the gate start, stop, and span for both time and distance gates. If gate coupling is on, then setting the gate center time also sets the same gate center time for all traces. Note that setting this also sets the given trace as the active trace if it is not already active.

Note that the command :CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:DISTance:CENTer functions the same as this command. The only difference is that with this command, you must send the center in time units rather than distance units.

To set the gate center time for trace number 2 to 15 ns:

Freq/Time/Dist, Gate, Center Gate

Sets the gate into notch mode for the given trace. Setting the value to ON or to 1 turns on the gate into a notch (in other words, the gate suppresses rather than passes through the time domain data within the start/stop gate settings). Setting the value to OFF or to 0 turns off the gate notch mode. The query version of this command returns 1 if gate notch is on, otherwise returns 0 for off. Note that if gate coupling is on, then setting the gate notch of one trace also sets the gate notch of all other traces. Note that setting this also sets the given trace as the active trace if it is not already active.

Note that the command :CALC<Tr>:FILT[:GATE]:DIST:NOTC functions the same as this command.

To set the gate notch for Trace 3 to OFF:

Freq/Time/Dist, Gate, Gate Notch

Sets the gate shape for the given trace. The query version of this command returns the string “MAX” if the current gate shape is set to maximum, “WIDE” if set to wide, “NORM” if set to nominal, and “MIN” if set to minimum. Note that if gate coupling is on, then setting the gate shape of one trace also sets the gate shape of all other traces. Note that setting this also sets the given trace as the active trace if it is not already active. Also note that the command :CALC<Tr>:FILT[:GATE]:DIST:SHAP functions the same as this command.

NORM

To set the gate shape to Maximum for Trace 1:

Freq/Time/Dist, Gate, Gate Shape

Sets the gate span time for the given trace. <Tr> is the trace number in the range of 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. The query version of this command returns the current gate span in nanoseconds. Note that setting this may also change the gate start, stop, and center for both time and distance gates. If gate coupling is on, then setting the gate span also sets the same gate span for all traces. Note that setting this also sets the given trace as the active trace if it is not already active.

Note that the command :CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:DISTance:SPAN functions the same as this command. The only difference is that with this command, you must send the span in time units rather than distance units.

Sets the gate start time for the given trace. <Tr> is the trace number in the range of 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. The query version of this command returns the current gate start time in nanoseconds. Note that setting this may also change the gate span, stop, and center for both time and distance gates. If gate coupling is on, then setting the gate start time also sets the same gate start time for all traces. Note that setting this also sets the given trace as the active trace if it is not already active

Note that the command :CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:DISTance:STARt functions the same as this command. The only difference is that with this command, you must send the start in time units rather than distance units.

Freq/Time/Dist, Gate, Start Gate

Sets the gate display settings for the given trace. The gate can be OFF, in DISPlay mode, or ON. In DISPLay mode, the gate is shown on the trace but is not applied to the transform. When set to ON, the gate is shown and applied to the transform. <Tr> is the trace number in the range of 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. Note that setting this also sets the given trace as the active trace if it is not already active. Also note that the command :CALC<Tr>:FILT[:GATE]:DIST:STAT functions the same as this command.

To set Trace 2 to DISPlay view:

Freq/Time/Dist, Gate, Gate Function

Sets the gate stop time for the given trace. <Tr> is the trace number in the range of 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. The query version of this commands returns the current gate stop time in nanoseconds. Note that setting this may also change the gate span, start, and center for both time and distance gates. If gate coupling is on, then setting the gate stop time also sets the same gate stop time for all traces. Note that setting this also sets the given trace as the active trace if it is not already active

Note that the command :CALCulate<Tr>:FILTer[:GATE]:DISTance:STOP functions the same as this command. The only difference is that with this command, you must send the stop in time units rather than distance units.
