Continuous Measurement Setting
Syntax
Command
:INITiate:CONTinuous <1/ 0/ ON/ OFF>
Query
Response
:INITiate:CONTinuous?
<ON/ OFF>
<ON> = Continuous Measurement Enabled
<OFF> = Continuous Measurement Disabled
Description
•
Continuous Measurement Enabled:
After measurement, enters the Trigger Wait State. When the trigger source setting is IMMediate,
the next trigger occurs immediately (the Free-Run State).
• Continuous Measurement Disabled:
After measurement, enters the Idle State instead of the Trigger Wait State.
• Triggering is ignored in the Idle State. Executing :INITiate[:IMMediate] enables the Trigger Wait
State.
• Continuous measurement is enabled upon exit from the Remote State.
Example
:INIT:CONT OFF
:INIT:CONT?
ON
Trigger Wait Setting
Syntax
Command
:INITiate[:IMMediate]
Description
Switches triggering from the Idle State to the Trigger Wait State.
Example

Sending
:TRIG:SOUR IMM..Trigger immediately when entering Trigger Wait State
:INIT:CONT OFF..Disables continuous measurement
:INIT..........................Enable Trigger Wait Trigger immediately upon :TRIG:SOUR IMM
:FETC?.......................Fetch measured value
Reading

(:INITIATE:CONTINUOUS ON).
Note
•
When the trigger source is IMMediate, triggering occurs immediately before entering the Idle
State.
• When the trigger source is EXTernal, the Trigger Wait State is enabled to wait for an external
trigger, and when a trigger occurs, one measurement is taken before entering the Idle State.
