3.5.2 Measure
Switches the analyzer between triggering the current measurement/sweep continuously or
triggering a single measurement. The front panel
Single key also puts the analyzer in
single-measurement mode.
Key Path:
Meas Control
State Saved: Save
Factory Preset: Continuous
Remote Command:
Use :INITiate:CONTinuous OFF|ON See
“Sweep” on page 232.
Remote Command Notes: This command affects sweeping when in the SA mode. It affects
measurments when a measurement has been selected from the MEASure
command subsystem.
• 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
3.5.3 Pause or Resume
This function pauses the currently running measurement. Pressing Pause will toggle
between pausing and resuming your measurement. The key label will toggle between
Pause
and
Resume. If an averaged measurement was in progress, the average counter is frozen
when the measurement is halted
