4.5.8 INITiate subsystem

INITiate
. [:IMMediate]
Request to provide a current measured value. Also serves as start command for the different SCAN
modes.
If SENSe:FREQuency:MODE set to CW|FIXed, then with each INITiate command a measurement is
carried out, the result possibly being stored in the MTRACE or ITRACE.
If SENSe:FREQuency:MODE is set to SWEep|MSCan|DSCan, then the respective SCAN is started, a
measurement being carried out with each step.
If eg command TRACE:FEED:CONTrol MTRACE, ALWays is used to enable the path to the buffer
MTRACE, the results are stored in MTRACE.
Parameters:
none
Example:
INITiate
. :CONM
. . [:IMMediate]
Command to CONtinue a Measurement. Is also used as continue command for different SCAN types.
MTRACE and ITRACE data sets are not deleted and are filled with measurement results according to the
setting. Ie:
If SENSe:FREQuency:MODE is set to CW|FIXed, a measurement is carried out and possibly stored in
MTRACE or ITRACE.
If SENSe:FREQuency:MODE is set to SWEep|MSCan, a measurement is carried out for each step and
stored in MTRACE or ITRACE. As an alternative, the command *TRG or the interface message Group
Execute Trigger (GET) can be used. The response time is the shortest for a GET which is why a GET
should always be used for time-critical measurements.
Parameters:
none
Example:
INITiate:CONM
