Device-specific, command or query

 

Example:

*RST; :CALC:FILT:TIME:WIND DCH

Reset the instrument and select a Dolph-Chebyshev time gate for filtering the data in the frequency domain.

CALC:FILT:TIME:DCH 25

Set the sideband suppression to 25 dB.

 


CALCulate<Chn>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:SHAPe
MAXimum | WIDE | NORMal | MINimum

Selects the time gate to be applied to the time domain transform.

Use the generalized command CALCulate<Chn>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:WINDow if you wish to select a Dolph-Chebychev time gate.

<Chn>

Channel number used to identify the active trace

 

Parameters

MINimum – Steepest edges (rectangle)
WIDE – Normal gate (Hann)
NORM – Steep edges (Hamming)
Maximum – Maximum flatness (Bohman)

*RST value

WIDE

 

SCPI, Command Types

Device-specific, command or query

 

Example:

*RST; :CALC:FILT:TIME:SHAP?

Reset the instrument and query the type of time gate used. The response is WIDE.

 

 


CALCulate<Chn>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:SHOW <Boolean>

Enables or disables permanent display of the gate limits.

<Chn>

Channel number used to identify the active trace  

 

<Boolean>

ON – Time gate permanently displayed
OFF – Time gate hidden

*RST value

OFF [–]

<Chn>

Channel number used to identify the active trace  

 

<span>

Span of the time gate.  

Range [def. unit]

2E-012 s to 200 s. The increment (parameters UP or DOWN) is 0.1 ns. [s]

Channel number used to identify the active trace  

 

<start>

Start time of the time gate.

Range [def. unit]

Confirmed, command or query

 

Example:

*RST; :CALC:TRAN:TIME:STAT ON; :CALC:FILT:TIME:STAT ON

Reset the instrument and enable the time domain representation and the time gate.

CALC:FILT:TIME:STAR 0; STOP 10ns; SHOW ON

Set the start time to 0 ns and the stop time to 10 ns and display the time gate permanently.

 

 

Note: If the start frequency entered is greater than the current stop frequency (CALCulate<Chn>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:STOP), the stop frequency is set to the start frequency plus the minimum frequency span (CALCulate<Chn>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:SPAN).  


CALCulate<Chn>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:STATe <Boolean>

Determines whether the time gate for trace no. <Chn> is enabled.

OFF – Time gate disabled

*RST value

OFF [–]

 

SCPI, Command Types

Confirmed, command or query

 

Example:

*RST; :CALC:TRAN:TIME:STAT?; :CALC:FILT:TIME:STAT?

Reset the instrument, activating a frequency sweep, and query whether the default trace is displayed in the time domain and whether the time gate is enabled. The response is 0;0.

 

 


CALCulate<Chn>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:STOP <numeric_value>

Defines the stop time of the time gate.

<Chn>

Channel number used to identify the active trace  

 

<numeric_value>

Stop time of the time gate.

Range [def. unit]

–99.999999999998 s to +100 s. The increment (parameters UP or DOWN) is 0.1 ns. [s]

SCPI, Command Types

Confirmed, command or query

 

Example:

See CALCulate<Chn>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:STARt.

 

 

Note: If the stop frequency entered is smaller than the current start frequency (CALCulate<Chn>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:STARt), the start frequency is set to the stop frequency minus the minimum frequency span (CALCulate<Chn>:FILTer[:GATE]:TIME:SPAN).
