Error Detector Measurement Gating
Error Detector Measurement Gating
The SENSe[1]:GATE commands control the configured parameters and run/stop gating
state of the error detector's measurement subsystem. Interpretation of the results obtained
using the query commands in Error Detector Measurement Functions on page 5-36
should take account of the gating parameters configured by means of the commands given
below.
SENSe[1]:GATE ON
Turnsgatingonoroff.
NOTE Previous commands that have altered the configuration of the
instrument might still not have settled. In order to ensure that the
GATE ON command is not executed until conditions have settled, it is
strongly recommended that the frequency has stabilized prior to the
GATE ON command, followed by a synchronization search. See
Clock Stabilization on page 9-2, and Overview of Control Sequence
between Configuration Changes and the Commencement of Bit
Error Measurements on page 2-9.
The GATE[:STATe] ON command when in GATE:MODE SINGle is an overlapped
command.
The *RST selection is OFF.
SENSe[1]:GATE:BURSt <boolean>
Turns Burst Gating on or off.
The *RST selection is OFF.
SENSe[1]:GATE:MODE MANual|SINGle|REPetitive
Sets the gating period mode to either Manual, Single, or Repetitive.
This command causes all past results to be labelled as invalid.
The *RST selection is MANual.
