Setting Measurement Channel Gates

This feature is only available when a P-Series or an E-Series E9320 power sensor is
N O T E
connected.
A system of gates, controlled by and referenced to a trigger point, is used
to obtain measurement data from a captured trace. The trace data within
each gate period is subsequently used for the individual measurement
calculations. Up to 4 gates can be set up for each channel.
shows an example of 4 gates setup to perform the following measurements
simultaneously:
• Average power level of the pulse:
• Average "off" power level ahead of the pulse:
• Peak to average ratio:
• Pulse drop:
