INITiate Subsystem
The INITiate commands initialize the trigger system. This moves the trigger system from the "idle" state
to the "wait-for-trigger" state, which enables the instrument to receive triggers. An event on the
selected trigger source causes the trigger to occur.
INITiate[:IMMediate]:ACQuire
Initiates the ACQuire (measurement) operation.
Parameter
Typical Return
(none)
(none)
Initiate a measurement: INIT:ACQ
If the ACQuire operation is already initiated, this command will produce error -213,"Init ignored".
INITiate[:IMMediate]:TRANsient
Initiates the TRANsient operation.
Parameter
Typical Return
(none)
(none)
Initiate a TRANsient operation:
VOLT:MODE STEP
FREQ:MODE STEP
INIT:TRAN
If the TRANsient operation is already initiated, this command will produce error -213,"Init ignored".
INITiate:CONTinuous:ACQuire ON|1|OFF|0
Initiates a new measurement and enables or disables "continuous" mode.
Parameter
Typical Return
ON|1|OFF|0
0 (OFF) or 1 (ON)
Initiate continuous acquisition mode: INIT:CONT:ACQ ON
If continuous mode is on, acquired data is automatically refreshed without the need for an INIT.
You should normally leave continuous mode off (default).
If the TRANsient operation is already initiated, this command will produce error -213,"Init ignored".
The
*RST
and
*RCL
commands set this parameter to 0.
