INITiate:CONTinuous
Syntax: INITiate:CONTinuous <Boolean>
Query form: INITiate:CONTinuous?
Response: 1 | 0

Description:
The INITiate:CONTinuous command selects whether the trigger system is
continuously initiated or not. When INITiate:CONTinuous is ON, the trigger
system is continuously initiating acquisitions. This can only be stopped by setting
INITiate:CONTinuous to OFF or by sending
the current acquisition, but doesn't affect the setting of INITiate:CONTinuous.
Therefore, new acquisitions are initiated immediately.
After a RST command, INITiate:CONTinuous OFF is valid.

PROGRAMMING NOTES:
•
During INITiate:CONTinuous ON the trigger system remains initiated (does
not return to the IDLE state). This implies that when an
given, bit 0 (OPC) in the standard Event Status Register (ESR) will never be
set. Neither the response to an
a hang-up of the CombiScope when the response is read.
•
After receiving one of the commands INITiate or INITiate:CONTinuous ON,
the oscilloscope checks the following
• X-deflection
• Del'd TB
• Trigger
• Level-PP
• X vs Y
• Roll mode
• Event delay
• Peak detection
In case of a settings conflict, the command is ignored and error -221 "Settings
conflict" is reported. To avoid this , first send a
an INITiate command.
