It is also possible to link a quadrant to a gate so that whenever the quadrant is moved, the gate will automatically adjust to the new quadrant coordinates. This allows you to effectively use a quadrant as a gate.

 

To create a linked gate from a quadrant, either:

 

•Right-click on a plot, select Convert Quads to Gates from the pop-up menu→ choose the quadrant from the submenu→ Convert and Link, or

 

•Right-click on the plot and select Format from the pop-up menu. Select the Quads category. Choose Quad to Gate from the Linking Options box. Select a quadrant and an existing polygon or freeform gate from the drop-down list. Further information is available in the Quadrants section under Formatting 2D Plot. Alternatively, you can reach the format window by selecting a plot and using the Format→2D Options→Quadrants command.

 

The links may be broken at any time, from either the Quadrant Formatting dialog or the Edit Gate dialog from the Gate View object.
