:INITiate[ :IMMediate ]
This command initiates a sweep if not in a measurement . If in a
measurement, it triggers the measurement . A "measurement" refers t o
any function under the
MEASURE
key.

Use : FETCh? to transfer a measurement result from
memory to the output buffer. Refer to individua l
commands in the FETCh subsystem for more
information.
If the analyzer is in signal identification mode, tw o
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, tw o
sweep triggers are needed to generate the sweep pair.
In image suppress mode, synchronization is ensured b y
first turning off signal identification, initiating a single
sweep, then turning on signal identification followed b y
two single sweeps. See [ : SENSe ] : SIDentify for
more information about signal identification state .

Pause the Measurement
:INITiate :PAUS e
This command applies to measurements found in the
MEASURE
menu .
Use this command to pause the current measurement by changing th e
current measurement state from the "wait for trigger" state to the
"paused" state. If the measurement is not in the "wait for trigger" stat e
when the command is issued, the transition will be made the next tim e
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 long period of time, measurement accuracy may degrade .
