To better understand the Initiate settings, see the equivalent SCPI remote
commands in Table 24.
INITiate:CONTinuous ON
INITiate:CONTinuous OFF
INITiate:EPOCh start>, <stop>
INITiate:IMMediate
The next three rows in Extended Settings control the parameters in the Arm2,
ARM1, and Trigger layers. Each of the parameters in Arm2 and Arm1 are
identical to the Trigger layer (described above) with the exception of Holdoff
which is available in the Trigger layer only.
The last two rows of Extended Settings are Signal level and Ext Trig Type. Signal
level parameters are applicable when the trigger event is set to Internal. Ext Trig
Type parameters are applicable when the trigger event is set to External. The
Signal level and Ext Trig parameters can be set in any layer but will always be
the same for all layers.

Table 24. SCPI Initiate Commands
Command
When the current trigger cycle is complete, the Trigger subsystem
immediately commences another trigger cycle without entering the
Idle state. If the system is in the idle state when Continuous is set
to ON, the idle state is immediately exited and the system
traverses to the ARM2 layer.
When the current trigger cycle is complete the subsystem enters
the Idle state. The Trigger subsystem remains in the Idle state until
the command INIT:IMM is sent.
Continuous ON occurs at <start> date and time.
Continuous OFF occurs at <stop> date and time.
This command causes exit from the Idle state. One full trigger
cycle is completed returning to Idle on completion. If the Trigger
subsystem is not Idle or if Continuous is set to ON, error -213 is
generated.
