Gating Progress

:SENS1:GATE:STAT

Syntax :SENS1:GATE:STAT?

Description Requests the current state of the gating interval. It will return 1 while the gating is in progress and 0 if the gating is finished/ inactive. It is guaranteed that the very first :SENS1:GATE:STAT? query after the start of the gating period will report a valid state of the gating progress. There is no need to capture 0-1-0 transitions of the gating progress.

Input Selection
