Initiate Subsystem - Keysight 53147A Operating And Programming Manual

:INITiate Subsystem

This subsystem controls the initiation of a measurement.
:INITiate:CONTinuous . . . <Boolean>
COMMAND
Sets or queries the state of continuously initiated measurements.
When CONTinuous is set to OFF, no measurements are made until CONTinuous is
set to ON or :INITiate[:IMMediate] is received. Once CONTinuous is set to ON, a
new measurement is initiated. On the completion of each measurement, with
CONTinuous ON, another measurement immediately commences.
– Single ASCII-encoded byte, 0 or 1.
QUERY
RESPONSE
– A value of 0 indicates OFF; a value of 1 indicates ON.
– *RST: OFF
COMMENTS
– The commencement of the first measurement due to setting
– With the measurements being made continuously, the :ABORt command
– When a single measurement is in progress (:INIT:CONT is OFF):
The instrument powers up with :INIT:CONT set to ON, but *RST sets :INIT:CONT
NOTE
to OFF.
Keysight 53147A/148A/149A Operating and Programming Guide
:INITiate:CONTinuous to ON sets the Pending Operation Flag to true. The
Pending Operation Flag is set false by aborting a measurement, or by the
completion of the last measurement after :INITiate:CONTinuous is set OFF.
aborts the current measurement in progress, however,
the value of :INITiate:CONTinuous is unaffected. If CONTinuous was
set to ON prior to receiving :ABORt, it remains ON and a new measurement
begins.
– Error -213 (Init ignored) is generated and the state of INIT:CONT is
unaffected by :INIT:CONT ON.
– Error -210 (Trigger error) is generated by INIT:CONT OFF.
