4.2.6 Meas Control
These functions allow you to pause and resume the currently selected measurement and to select between
continuous or single measurements.
4.2.6.1 Measure
Press this key to toggle the measurement state between
Single and Cont (continuous). NOTE: This key has a
different function than the
MEASURE front panel key. When set to Single, the measurement will continue until it
has reached the specified number of averages set by the average counter. When set to
Cont, the measurement
will run continuously and execute averaging according to the current average mode, either repeat or exponential.
4.2.6.2 Pause/Resume
Press this key to pause the current measurement until you reactivate the measurement. Once toggled, the label
of the
Pause key changes to read Resume. The Resume key, once pressed, continues the active measurement from
the point at which it was paused.

Remote Command :INITiate:CONTinuous OFF|ON
Remote Command Notes When ON, at the completion of each trigger cycle, the trigger system
immediately initiates another trigger cycle.
When OFF, the trigger system remains in an “idle” state until
CONTinuous is set to ON or an :INITiate[:IMMediate] command is
received. On receiving the :INITiate[:IMMediate] command, it will go
through a single trigger cycle, and then return to the “idle” state.
The query INIT:CONT? returns 1 or 0. 1 is returned when the
instrument is continuous triggering. 0 is returned when it is single
triggering.
Example :INIT:CONT OFF
