Take New Data Acquisitions

: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
key.

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
MEASure 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 identification, initiating a single sweep, then
turning on signal identification followed by two single sweeps.
See [:SENSe]:SIDentify for more information about
signal identification state.

Pause the Measurement
:INITiate:PAUSe
This command applies to measurements found in the
command to pause the current measurement by changing the current measurement
state from the "wait for trigger" state to the "paused" state. If the measurement is
not in the "wait for trigger" state when the command is issued, the transition will
be made the next time that state is entered as part of the trigger cycle. When in the
pause state, the analyzer auto-align process stops. If the analyzer is paused for a
