INITiate:CONTinuous
Description:
The CONTinuous command is used to select whether the
trigger system is continuously initiated or not. With CONTinuous
set to OFF, the trigger system remains in the Idle state until
CONTinuous is set to ON or INITiate:IMMediate is received.
Once CONTinuous is set to ON, the trigger system is initiated
and exits the Idle state. On completion of each trigger cycle,
with CONTinuous ON, the trigger system immediately
commences another trigger cycle without entering the Idle state.
Note that when INITiate:CONTinuous is set to OFF the current
trigger cycle is completed before entering the Idle state.
If the device is not in the Idle state the command has no effect
on the trigger system and an error –213 is generated ("Init
ignored").
Initialization:
*RST OFF

ABORt
Description:

state, aborting any measurement in progress.
This command does not change the instrument configuration
and a subsequent INITiate command will cause the instrument
to re-start the same type of measurement.
