:INITiate[:IMMediate]
This command initiates a sweep if not in a measurement. If in a
measurement, it triggers the measurement. A "measurement"
refers to any function under the MEAS key.
Remarks:
See also the *TRG command
Use the :TRIGer[:SEQuence]:SOURce EXTernal command
to select the external trigger.
The analyzer must be in the single measurement mode. If
:INITiate:CONTinuous is ON, the command is ignored.
If the analyzer is in signal identification mode, two sweeps are
required, as this mode relies on the acquisition of data from two
successive sweeps. Therefore, if the analyzer is in single sweep
mode, two sweep triggers are needed to generate the sweep pair.
In image suppress mode, synchronization is ensured by first turning
off signal identification, initiating a single sweep, then turning on
signal identification followed by two single sweeps.
