SetGate

unsigned int WINAPI SetGate(float delay, float width, float step_Renamed)

gating.

Parameters

float delay: Sets the delay(>=0) between the T0 and C outputs on the SRS box to delay

nanoseconds.

float width: Sets the width(>=0) of the gate in nanoseconds

float step_Renamed: Sets the amount(<>0, in nanoseconds) by which the gate position

is moved in time after each scan in a kinetic series.
