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.
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.
