Take New Data Acquisitions

:INITiate[:IMMediate]
This command initiates a sweep if not in a measurement. If in a
measurement, it triggers the instrument, if external triggering is the
type of trigger event selected. Otherwise, the command is ignored. A
"measurement" refers to any function under the
Remarks: See also the *TRG command
Use the :TRIGer[:SEQuence]:SOURce EXTernal
command to select the external trigger. The instrument
must be in the single measurement mode. If
:INITiate:CONTinuous is ON then the command is
ignored.
Use :FETCh? to transfer a measurement result from
memory to the output buffer. Refer to individual
commands in the FETCh subsystem for more
information.
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 identifiation, initiating a single
sweep, then turning on signal identification followed by
two single sweeps. See [:SENSe]:SIDentify for
more information about signal identification state.
