INITiate Subsystem
Initiate commands arm 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
INITiate[:IMMediate]:ELOG
INITiate[:IMMediate]:TRANsient
INITiate:ACQuire - Initiates the measurement trigger system.
INITiate:ELOG - Initiates external data logging.
INITiate:TRANsient - Initiates the transient trigger system.
Parameter
(none)
Initiate the measurement-trigger system: INIT:ACQ
It takes a few milliseconds for the instrument to be ready to receive a trigger signal after receiving
l
the INITiate command.
If a trigger occurs before the trigger system is ready for it, the trigger will be ignored. Check the
l
WTG_meas bit in the operation status register to know when the instrument is ready.
Use ABORt commands to return the instrument to Idle.

INITiate:CONTinuous:TRANsient?
Continuously initiates the transient trigger system. This allows multiple triggers to generate multiple
output transients.
Parameter
0|OFF|1|ON, *RST ON
Continually initiates the output trigger system: INIT:CONT:TRAN ON
With initiate continuous disabled, the output trigger system must be initiated for each trigger using
l
the INITiate:TRANsient command.
ABORt:TRANsient does not turn off continuous triggers if INITiate:CONTinuous:TRANsient ON has
l
been programmed. In this case, first turn off continuous triggers before sending the ABORt com-
mand.
