 For low-frequency signals (for example, the frequency is lower than 5Hz), you

are recommended to set the gate time to USER6.

 Send the

:COUNter:AUTO

command and the instrument will select a proper gate

time automatically according to the characteristics of the signal under test.

During this process, “AUTO” is displayed in the gate time area in the frequency

counter interface. The gate time currently selected by the instrument will be

displayed in the gate time area in the frequency counter interface after the

instrument selects a proper gate time.

Return Format

If users have currently selected a gate time, the query returns USER1, USER2,

USER3, USER4, USER5 or USER6. If users send the

:COUNter:AUTO

command to let

the instrument select a proper gate time automatically, the query returns “AUTO”

during this process and returns USER1, USER2, USER3, USER4, USER5 or USER6

after a proper gate time is selected by the instrument.

Example

:COUN:GATE USER2 /*Set the gate time of the measurement system to USER2

(10.48ms)*/

:COUN:GATE? /*Query the gate time of the measurement system and the

query returns USER2*/
