:GATE
?
This command  selects 
the active state (gate polarity) of the gate while 
using 
the gating trigger mode. 
The LOW and HIGH 
selections correspond 
to the low and high 
states 
of an 
extern
al 
trigger 
signal. For 
example, when you 
select 
HIGH, the active state 
occurs 
during the high of 
the 
trigger signal. 
When the active state 
occurs, 
the 
Model 
835-M
starts 
the waveform 
playback 
at the last played 
sample 
point, then 
stops 
the 
playback 
at the next 
sample 
point when the 
inactive 
state occurs. LOW 
The waveform 
playback starts 
when the trigger 
signal goes 
low (active state) 
and 
stops 
when the trigger 
signal goes 
high (inactive state). 
HIGH The waveform 
playback starts 
when the trigger 
signal goes 
high (active state) 
and 
stops 
when the trigger 
signal goes 
low 
(inactive 
state).

TRIGger[:SEQuence]:DELay? 
This command  sets 
the amount of time to delay the 
Model 
835-M
 response 
to an external 
trig
ger. 
The delay 
is 
a path (time) delay between when the 
Model 
835-M
 receives 
the trigger and when 
it 
responds 
to the trigger. The delay 
does 
not 
occur 
until you turn it on. You 
can 
set the delay value 
either before or after turning it on.

TRIGger[:SEQuence]:EXTernal:SLOPe? 
This command  sets 
the polarity for an external trigger 
signal 
while 
using 
the 
continuous, 
single 
triggering mode. The 
POSitive 
and 
NEGative selections correspond 
to the high 
(positive) 
and 
low
(negative) 
states 
of the external trigger 
signal. For 
example, when you 
select POSitive, 
the 
waveform 
responds 
(play
s
)
 during the high state of the trigger 
signal. 
When the 
Model 
835-M
receives multiple 
trigger 
occurrences 
when only one 
is 
required, the 
signal 
generator 
uses 
the first trigger and 
ignores 
the rest.
