COMMAND REFERENCE
INITiate[:IMMediate]
Syntax: INITiate[:IMMediate]
Description:
This command causes the trigger system to be initiated once only, i.e., initiates
one acquisition cycle. The actual acquisition starts when all trigger conditions
have been met. After the acquisition has completed, the trigger system returns to
the IDLE state.
Note: The OPERation status bits 3 (SWEeping) and 5 (Waiting for TRIGger)
are valid when INITiate:CONTinuous is OFF and:
- the trigger mode is single-shot (TB MODE - single).
- the trigger mode is multiple-shot (TB MODE - multi).
Example:
→
Send RST
*
→
Send TRIGger:SOURce INTernal1
→
Send TRIGger:LEVel .2
→
Send INITiate
→
Send TRACe? CH1
←
Read <acquisition trace channel 1>
Note: For single-shot averaged acquisitions the trigger source must be one of
the input shannels (INTerval <n>), instead if IMMediate (software
automatic trigger).
Errors:
When an INITiate command is given while the trigger system is not in the IDLE
state, the message -213,"Init ignored" is generated.
Resets the instrument.
Trigger source becomes channel 1.
Trigger level becomes 0.2V.
Single shot acquisition.
Queries channel 1 trace.
