LMR Master™ S412E Programming Manual : PTC-ACSES Commands : :INITiate Subsystem
 
:INITiate Subsystem
This subsystem controls the triggering of measurements.
:INITiate[:IMMediate]
Description
Initiates a sweep/measurement. Use this command in combination with :STATus:OPERation? to synchronize the capture of one complete set of data. When this command is sent, the “sweep complete” bit of :STATus:OPERation? is set to 0, indicating that the measurement is not completed. The data collection is then triggered. The controlling program can poll :STATus:OPERation? to determine the status. When the “sweep complete” bit is set to 1, data are ready to be retrieved.

:INITiate:CONTinuous?
Description
Sets the sweep to run or hold. If the instrument is currently sweeping, then setting a value of OFF or 0 stops the trace from updating. The default value is ON. That is, sending :INIT:CONT is equivalent to sending :INIT:CONT ON. The query version of this command returns a 1 if the instrument is set to Run, and it returns a 0 if set to Hold.
