Command Reference
The
subsystem initiates the trigger subsystem and prepares the
INITiate
Agilent E1445A for waveform generation. Once initiated, a start arm received from
the programmed arm source (

the wait-for arm or wait-for-trigger state, as appropriate. Waveform generation
begins when the next start arm is received. When
arm cycles complete, the trigger system returns to the idle state, and waveform
generation halts.
This command is an overlapped command as described by IEEE-488.2, Section 12.
The exit from the idle state caused by
Operation Flag to be set true. This Pending Operation Flag will be set false when
the idle state is re-entered, either when the trigger cycle completes or when an
ABORt
or
*RST
command is executed.
The
STATus:OPC:INITiate
test the Pending Operation Flag and wait until it is false (trigger system in the idle state).
