Hold Sweep
:INITiate:HOLD
Description: Sets the sweep to hold. If the instrument is currently sweeping, then
setting a value of ON or 1 pauses the sweep. If the instrument is
currently not sweeping, and if sweep type is set to continuous, then
setting a value of OFF or 0, restarts the sweep. If the instrument is
currently not sweeping, and if sweep type is set to single, then setting a
value of OFF or 0, triggers a sweep. The query version of the command
returns a 1 if the hold command is set, and it returns a 0 if a Run is
set.

Trigger Sweep/Measurement
: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.
If sweep is set to Run, and if sweep type is set to Continuous, then
sending the :INIT:IMM command restarts the sweep. If sweep is set to
Hold or External, and if sweep type is set to Single, then sending the
:INIT:IMM command starts a sweep (instrument is temporarily in
Run). After a single sweep is completed, the instrument returns to Hold.
Syntax: :INITiate[:IMMediate]
Cmd Parameter: NA
Query Response: NA (no query)
Related Command: :STATus:OPERation?
