Starts a measurement and forces the trigger system to exit the idle state.

Attribute Summary:
Description:
This command starts a new measurement and ensures that any changes made to the analyzer's state are
reflected in the measurement results. The new measurement is started immediately whether the current
measurement is running, "paused," or completed. All data from the previous measurement is discarded
when the new measurement is started.
INIT[:IMM] causes the trigger system to initiate and complete one full trigger cycle.
If the command INIT:CONT ON has been sent, the INIT[:IMM] command has no affect.
The program message ABOR;:INIT:IMM serves a special synchronization function. When you send this
message to restart a measurement, the analyzer's No Pending Operation (NPO) flag is set to 1 until the
measurement is complete. The two commands that test the state of this flag—*WAI and *OPC—allow
you to hold off subsequent actions until the measurement is complete. See chapter 3 of the GPIB
Programmer's Guide for more information about synchronization.
