3.5.4 Trigger a Sweep or Measurement (Remote Command Only)
This command initiates a sweep if in SA mode with no measurement currently selected.
The command is ignored if the instrument is in a measurement (selected under the
MEASURE key), but the measurement is currently running, (INITiate:CONTinuous ON).
If a measurement is selected but it is in the idle state (i.e. it’s not running, INITiate:CONT
OFF), this command triggers the instrument, when trigger conditions are met. The trigger
system is initiated, it completes one full trigger cycle and returns to the “waiting” state .
Depending on the measurement selected and the number of averages, there may be
multiple data acquisitions, with multiple trigger events, for one full trigger cycle. The
instrument must have external triggering selected, or the command will be ignored. Use
the TRIGer[:SEQuence]:SOURce EXT command to select the external trigger.

Remote Command:
:INITiate[:IMMediate]
Remote Command Notes: See also the *TRG command and the TRIGger subsystem.
Use the [:SENSe]:<meas>:TRIGger:SOURce command to select the
desired trigger. The instrument must be in the single measurement mode.
If :INITiate:CONTinuous is ON then the command is ignored.
Use :FETCh? to transfer a measurement result from memory to the output
buffer. Refer to individual commands in the MEASure subsystem for more
information.
