INITiate Subsystem

Pause the Measurement

:INITiate:PAUSe
Pauses 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 paused state, the
spectrum analyzer auto-align process stops. If the analyzer is paused
for a long period of time, measurement accuracy may degrade.

Restart the Measurement

:INITiate:RESTart
This command applies to measurements found in the MEASURE menu.
It restarts the current measurement from the "idle" state regardless of
its current operating state. It is equivalent to:
INITiate[:IMMediate] (for single measurement mode)
ABORt (for continuous measurement mode)

Resume the Measurement

:INITiate:RESume
Resumes the current measurement by changing the current
measurement state from the "paused state" back to the "wait for
trigger" state. If the measurement is not in the "paused" state, when
the command is issued, an error is reported. Only include if INIT:IMM
is implemented as an overlapping command.
