Continuous Gate
Activates or deactivates continuous gating.
This setting is only available if Gated Trigger is "On".
If no external trigger is active yet when continuous gating is activated, external trigger 1
is automatically activated as the trigger source.
Remote command:
[SENSe:]SWEep:EGATe:CONTinuous[:STATe]

Gate Period Length
Defines the length in seconds of a single gate period in continuous gating. The length
is determined from the beginning of one gate measurement to the beginning of the
next one.
Remote command:
[SENSe:]SWEep:EGATe:CONTinuous:PLENgth

Gate Period Count
Defines the number of gate periods to be measured after a single trigger event in con-
tinuous gating.

8.6.2.4 Gate Source Settings
Access : "Overview" > "Trigger" > "Gate Settings" > "Source" tab
By default, the gate is opened by the trigger source, which is also the gate source.
However, you can also use different sources for a general trigger and the beginnning of
the individual gates. In this case, the trigger source defines when measurement is gen-
erally possible, and the gate source determines which data is actually measured.
Triggered gated measurements are only available in applications based on frequency
sweeps (not I/Q-data based), such as the Spectrum application.
For more information see "Triggered gated measurements" on page 491.
