10-6 :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 is ready to be retrieved.
Cmd Parameters: NA

Front Panel Access: Shift 3 (Sweep), Trigger Sweep
:INITiate:CONTinuous OFF|ON|0|1
: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.
