:CONTinuous <b>
:INITiate:CONTinuous <b> Control continuous initiation
Parameters <b> = 0 or OFF Disable continuous initiation
= 1 or ON Enable continuous initiation
Format :init:cont <b>
Defaults Power-up Saved power-on setup
*RST OFF
:SYSTem:PRESet ON
Query :CONTinuous? Query continuous initiation
Short-form format: :init:cont?
Response message: 1 (on) or 0 (off)
Description When continuous initiation is selected (ON), the instrument is taken out of the idle state. At the
conclusion of all programmed operations, the instrument will return to arm layer 1.
Programming example OUTPUT 716; “:init:cont on” ! Select continuous initiation
4.24.2 :ABORt
:ABORt Abort operation
Format :abor
Description When this action command is sent, the Model 2001 will abort its current operations and return
to the top of the Trigger Model. If continuous initiation is disabled, the instrument will go into
the idle state. If continuous initiation is enabled, operation will continue on into arm layer 1.
The abort command will reset the Source Bypasses of the Trigger Model. If scanning, the scan
pointer will reset back to the first channel in the scan list.
Programming example OUTPUT 716; “:abor” ! Abort operation
4.24.3 :IMMediate
:ARM[:SEQuence[1]][:LAYer[1]]:IMMediate Bypass arm control source
:ARM[:SEQuence[1]]:LAYer2:IMMediate Bypass scan control source and delay
:TRIGger:[:SEQuence[1]]:IMMediate Bypass measure control source and delay
Formats :arm:imm
:arm:lay2:imm
:trig:imm
Description These action commands are used to bypass the specified control source of the Trigger Model.
They are used when you do not wish to wait for the programmed event. Note from the Trigger
Model (Figure 4-14) that :arm:lay2:imm and :trig:imm also bypass the Delay.
