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.

These commands are Superseded by the CALCulate:MEASure:FILTer commands.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>

Applicable Models: N522xB, N523xB, N524xB, M937xA, P937xA

(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.

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)

Examples

'To couple all parameters:

CALC:FILT:COUP:PAR 15
