HP 8360 L Series - Common Trigger Configurations; The INIT Configuration

Common Trigger
Configurations
In the previous paragraphs, you learned about the basic building
blocks allowed in a SCPI trigger system. Generally, an instrument
implements only a portion of the trigger features available. These
paragraphs discuss the simplest configurations: INIT and TRIG.
The INIT Configuration
The 1NIT configuration is the simplest possible trigger configuration.
It uses no event detection states, and requires only two subsystems
for programming, INITiate and ABORt .
All SCPI instruments
implement these two subsystems.

Example commands using the INIT trigger configuration:
:ABORt
abort operations, go to idle
:INIT:IMM
execute one sequence operation
:INIT:CONT ON
execute sequence operations continuously
: INIT: CONT OFF
