INITiate Subsystem
Access: Meas Control, Measure Cont Single
Take New Data Acquisitions
:INITiate[:IMMediate]
The instrument must be in the single measurement mode. If
INIT:CONT is ON, then the command is ignored. The desired
measurement must be selected and waiting. The command causes the
system to exit the “waiting” state and go to the “initiated” state.
The trigger system is initiated and completes one full trigger cycle. It
returns to the “waiting” state on completion of the trigger cycle.
Depending upon the measurement and the number of averages, there
may be multiple data acquisitions, with multiple trigger events, for one
full trigger cycle.
This command triggers the instrument, if external triggering is the
type of trigger event selected. Otherwise, the command is ignored. Use
the TRIGer[:SEQuence]:SOURce EXT command to select the external
trigger.
Example: INIT:IMM
Remarks: See also the *TRG command and the TRIGger
subsystem.
