INITiate:ALL
INITiate[:IMMediate]
Starts a single measurement cycle. The sensor changes from the idle state to the wait-
ing for trigger state. As soon as the trigger condition is fulfilled, the sensor begins the
measurement. Depending on the number of trigger events that are required, e.g. for
averaging, the sensor enters the waiting for trigger state several times. Once the entire
measurement is completed, a measurement result is available, and the sensor enters
the idle state again.
Use the command only after the continuous measurement mode has been switched off

Example:
Usage:
INITiate:CONTinuous <state>
Activates/deactivates the continuous measurement mode. In continuous measurement
mode, the power sensor does not go into the idle state after a measurement has been
completed, but immediately executes another measurement cycle.

Example:
8.5.2 Triggering
In a basic continuous measurement, the measurement is started immediately after the
initiate command, see also
on page 51. However, sometimes you want that the measurement starts only if a
specific condition is fulfilled. For example, if a signal level is exceeded, or in certain
time intervals. For these cases, you can define a trigger for the measurement.
