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

Applicable Models: All

(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.

Parameters

 

<cnum>

Channel number of the measurement (optional).

<mnum>

Measurement number for each measurement.

<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:MEAS2:FILT:COUP:PAR 15
