470 Agilent N8201A Performance Downconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 26.5 GHz
23 Sweep
Remote Command:
[:SENSe]:SWEep:EGATe:SOURce EXTernal[1]|EXTernal2|RFBurst
where Ext1 selects the Front input and Ext2 selects the Rear input.
[:SENSe]:SWEep:EGATe:SOURce?
Example:
SWE:EGAT:SOUR EXT2
Trigger In
Selects the front panel external trigger input connector as the gate source and sets the
voltage level at which the gate will trigger. Changes made to the trigger level setting with
this key will also change the setting in the Trig menu.
Be careful about selecting trigger level values too far away from the trigger signal’s
midpoint. If the signal has ringing, it can cause multiple triggers.
Key Path: Sweep, Gate Setup, Gate Source
State Saved: Saved in Instrument State
Factory Preset: 1.5 V
Range: − 5 to +5 V
Remote Command: See “Gate Source" on page 469.
[:SENSe]:SWEep:EGATe:EXTernal[1]:LEVel <voltage>
[:SENSe]:SWEep:EGATe:EXTernal[1]:LEVel?
Example:
SWE:EGAT:SOUR EXT1
SWE:EGAT:EXT1:LEV 2.5
RF Burst (IF Wideband)
Selects the signal as the gate source and triggers on the RF burst. This is the same trigger
function as found under the Trig key. See the trigger functions for more information.
Key Path: Sweep, Gate Setup, Gate Source
