Restart - Keysight x-series User Reference Manual

Restart

The Restart function restarts the current sweep, or measurement, or set of averaged/held sweeps or
measurements. If you are Paused, pressing Restart does a Resume.
The Restart function is accessed in several ways:
• Pressing the Restart key
• Sending the remote command INIT:IMMediate
• Sending the remote command INIT:RESTart

More Information
The Restart function first aborts the current sweep/measurement as quickly as possible. It then resets the
sweep and trigger systems, sets up the measurement and initiates a new data measurement sequence
with a new data acquisition (sweep) taken once the trigger condition is met.
If the analyzer is in the process of aligning when Restart is executed, the alignment finishes before the
restart function is performed.

:INITiate[:IMMediate]
:INITiate:RESTart
:INIT:IMM
:INIT:REST
:INITiate:RESTart and :INITiate:IMMediate perform exactly the same function.
Resets average/hold count k. For the first sweep overwrites all active (update=on) traces with new
current data. For application modes, it resets other parameters as required by the measurement.
This is an Overlapped command.
The STATus:OPERation register bits 0 through 8 are cleared.
The STATus:QUEStionable register bit 9 (INTegrity sum) is cleared.
The SWEEPING bit is set.
The MEASURING bit is set.
For Spectrum Analysis mode in ESA and PSA, the Restart hardkey and the INITiate:RESTart
command restart trace averages (displayed average count reset to 1) for a trace in Clear Write, but
did not restart Max Hold and Min Hold.
In the X-Series, the Restart hardkey and the INITiate:RESTart command restart not only Trace
Average, but MaxHold and MinHold traces as well.
For wireless comms modes in ESA and PSA, the Restart hardkey and the INITiate:RESTart command
restart every measurement, which includes all traces and numeric results. There is no change to this
operation.
