6 RLC Swept SA Measurement Front-Panel & SCPI Reference
Sweep/Control
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.
Key Path Sweep/Control, Gate
Remote Command [:SENSe]:SWEep:EGATe[:STATe] OFF|ON|0|1
[:SENSe]:SWEep:EGATe[:STATe]?
Example SWE:EGAT ON
SWE:EGAT?
Dependencies The function is unavailable (grayed out) and Off when:
l
Gate Method is LO or Video and FFT Sweep Type is manually selected.
l
Gate Method is FFT and Swept Sweep Type is manually selected.
l
Marker Count is ON.
The following are unavailable whenever Gate is on:
l
FFT under Sweep Type when Method=LO or Video or Swept under Sweep Type when
Method=FFT
l Marker Count
While Gate is on, the Auto Rules for Sweep Type are modified so that the choice agrees with the
Gate Method: i.e., FFT for Method = FFT and Swept for Method = LO or Video.
The Gate softkey and all SCPI under the [:SENSe]:SWEep:EGATe SCPI node are grayed out when
Source Mode is Tracking with an external source. This is because the Gate circuitry is used to
sync the external source. If the Tracking Source is turned on, the Gate is turned off.
When in the ACP measurement:
l
When Meas Method is RBW or FAST, this function is unavailable and the key is grayed out.
l
Whenever Gate is on, Meas Method, RBW or FAST is unavailable and keys for those are
grayed out.
