Continuous/Single Sweep
:INITiate:CONTinuous
Description: Sets the sweep to continuous. If the instrument is currently on hold,
and if sweep type is set to continuous, then setting to ON restarts the
sweep. If the instrument is currently on hold, and if sweep type is set to
single, then setting to ON sets the Sweep Type to Continuous and
restart the sweep. If the instrument is currently sweeping, then setting
a value of OFF or 0 sets the Sweep Type to Single and holds the sweep.
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 Continuous and Run, or it returns a 0 if
set to Hold.
