Sweep/Control
When you are Paused, pressing Restart, Single or Cont does a Resume.
Gate
Accesses a menu that enables you to control the gating function. The Gate functionality is used to view
signals best viewed by qualifying them with other events.
Gate setup parameters are the same for all measurements – they do not change as you change
measurements. Settings like these are called “Meas Global” and are unaffected by Meas Preset.
Note that Sweep Time autocoupling rules and annotation are changed by Gate being on.
Gate On/Off
Turns the gate function on and off.
When the Gate Function is on, the selected Gate Method is used along with the gate settings and the
signal at the gate source to control the sweep and video system with the gate signal. Not all
measurements allow every type of Gate Methods.
When Gate is on, the annunciation in the measurement bar reflects that it is on and what method is used,
as seen in the following "Gate: LO" annunciator graphic.
