Figure 8-21: Effects of Gate mode, Gate delay and Gate length
To indicate that a gate is used for the sweep, "GAT" and the gate source is displayed in
the channel bar.
Continuous gating
With common gating, a measurement is performed each time the trigger event occurs.
However, when using an external, IF power or power sensor trigger, the measurement
time for a single gate is restricted by the repetition rate of the external, IF power or
power sensor trigger.
Now, a new function in the R&S
FSV/A allows you to perform a number of measure-
ments periodically after each external, IF power or power sensor trigger event. This
function can speed up the measurement significantly. After the first external, IF power
or power sensor trigger event, a specified number of gate periods are generated inter-
nally, in a specified interval, without requiring additional trigger events. Only after the
specified number of measurements have been performed, the R&S
FSV/A waits for the
next external, IF power or power sensor trigger event.
