Calculate:Filter Commands

Controls the gating function used in time domain measurements. The gated range is specified with either (start / stop) or (center / span) commands.

Critical Note: CALCulate commands act on the selected measurement. You can select one measurement for each channel using Calc:Par:MNUM or Calc:Par:Select. Learn more.

CALCulate<cnum>:FILTer[:GATE]:COUPle:PARameters <num>

(Read-Write) Specifies the time domain gating parameters to be coupled. The settings for those parameters will be copied from the selected measurement to all other measurements on the channel. To enable Trace Coupling, use SENS:COUP:PAR To specify Transform parameters to couple, use CALC:TRAN:COUP:PAR Learn more about Time Domain Trace Coupling See Critical Note
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
<num>	(Numeric) Parameters to couple. To specify more than one parameter, add the numbers. 1 - Gating Stimulus (Start, Stop, Center, and Span TIME settings.) 2 - Gating State (ON / OFF) 4 - Gating Shape (Minimum, Normal, Wide, and Maximum) 8 - Gating Type (Bandpass and Notch)

Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:FILTer:GATE:COUPle:PARameters?
Return Type	Numeric
Default	13 (All parameters except 2 - Gating State)

CALCulate<cnum>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:CENTer <num>

(Read-Write) Sets the gate filter center time. See Critical Note
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
<num>	Center time in seconds; Choose any number between: ± (number of points-1) / frequency span Note: This command will accept MIN or MAX instead of a numeric parameter. See SCPI Syntax for more information.

<num>	Time span in seconds; Choose any number between: 0 and 2* [(number of points-1) / frequency span] Note: This command will accept MIN or MAX instead of a numeric parameter. See SCPI Syntax for more information.

CALCulate<cnum>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:STATe <boolean>

(Read-Write) Turns gating state ON or OFF. See Critical Note Note: Sweep type must be set to LInear Frequency in order to use Transform Gating.
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
<boolean>	ON (or 1) - turns gating ON. OFF (or 0) - turns gating OFF.
