:INITiate[:IMMediate]
This command initiates a sweep if not in a measurement. If in a
measurement, it triggers the instrument, if external triggering is the
type of trigger event selected. Otherwise, the command is ignored. A
“measurement” refers to any function under the
MEASURE key.
Remarks: See also the *TRG command
Use the :TRIGer[:SEQuence]:SOURce EXTernal
command to select the external trigger. The instrument
must be in the single measurement mode. If
:INIT:CONT is ON then the command is ignored.
Use :FETCh? to transfer a measurement result from
memory to the output buffer. Refer to individual
commands in the FETCh subsystem for more
information.
Restart Measurement
:INITiate:RESTart
This command applies to measurements found in the
MEASURE menu.
Use this command to restart the present measurement from the “idle”
state, regardless of its operating state.
Remarks: This command is equivalent of sending an :ABORt
command followed by an :INITiate[:IMMediate]
command.
