Gate Length (Gate Trigger)

(Time based Input Domain Power Spectrum measurements only)

Default: 1 ms, disabled (Auto = True)

Sets the length of time in seconds for the acquisition data to acquire and use for a step in the spectrum once the gate trigger condition occurs. The Video Bandwidth normally influences the length of the acquired data when gating is not used. But, when gating is used then the gate Length parameter has priority and the Video Bandwidth parameter will be treated as the maximum desired Video Bandwidth.

Auto - The Auto checkbox enables and disables auto-gate length.

True (Default): The Gate Length field is disabled and gate length is automatically chosen. Auto Gate Length is the default selection for backward compatibility.

False: The Gate Length field is enabled and gate length is set by the user.
