Syntax
:INITiate[:IMMediate]
Function
Changes the Idle state to the Trigger Wait state.
Note
If the unit is in the Continuous Trigger state:
(:INITIATE:CONTINUOUS 1), an execution error is issued.
If the trigger source is IMMediate, a trigger takes place immediately, putting the unit in the Idle
state.
If the trigger source is EXTernal, the unit awaits an external trigger. When it accepts a trigger, it
performs a single measurement, then goes into the Idle state.
Example
Transmission :TRIG:SOUR IMM
:INIT:CONT 0
:INIT
:FETC?
Puts the trigger system in a One-shot measurement mode, triggers once, and
reads the value.
