[:STARt]:GATE:POLarity
TRIGger[:STARt]:GATE:POLarity <polarity> selects the polarity of the
Agilent E1445A’s front panel “Stop Trig/FSK/Gate In” BNC which gates the
TRIGger:STARt subsystem. NORMal polarity selects an active high gate; INVerted
polarity selects an active low gate. This polarity is significant only when
TRIGger[:STARt]:GATE SOURce is set to EXTernal. The programmed value is
retained but not used when other sources are selected.

Example Setting the Sample Gate Polarity
TRIG:STARt:GATE:POL NORM Sets active high gate.
[:STARt]:GATE:SOURce
TRIGger[:STARt]:GATE:SOURce <source> selects the source which gates the
TRIGger[:STARt] subsystem. The TRIGger[:STARt] subsystem is suspended (no
new samples are generated) while the selected gate source is asserted. Normal
sample generation resumes when the gate is unasserted.

Comments • The available sources are:
– EXTernal: The Agilent E1445A’s front panel “Stop Trig/FSK/Gate In” BNC
connector.
– TTLTrg0 through TTLTrg7: The VXIbus TTL trigger lines.
• When a VXIbus TTLTrg<n> line is selected as the gate source, the low level on
the line asserts the gate. The
TRIGger[:STARt]:GATE:POLarity command selects
