:INITiate Subsystem

:INITiate Subsystem
This subsystem controls the initiation of a measurement.
:INITiate:AUTO <Boolean>
Sets or queries if the Counter should stop measurements or continue measuring
(go on) when a measurement exceeds the user-entered limits.
AUTO ON configures the Counter to automatically stop measuring (set
:INIT:CONT to OFF) on a limit test failure (that is, out-of-limit results are
detected). AUTO OFF configures the Counter to continue measuring (leave
:INIT:CONT unaffected) when the limit test fails.
The AUTO ON capability is only meaningful when the Counter is limit testing
(:CALC2:LIM:STAT is ON) and :INIT:CONT is ON.

:INITiate:CONTinuous <Boolean>
Sets or queries the enable for continuously initiated measurements .
With CONTinuous set to OFF, no measurements are made until CONTinuous is
set to ON or :INITiate[:IMMediate] is received.
Once CONTinuous is set to ON, a new measurement is initiated.
On the completion of each measurement, with CONTinuous ON, another
measurement immediately commences.
