17-90 SCPI Command Reference Models 2500 and 2502 User’s Manual
Trigger subsystem
The Trigger subsystem is made up of a series of commands and subsystems to configure
the Trigger Model. These commands and subsystems are summarized in Table 17-10.
NOTE See Section 10 for more details on triggering and the trigger model.
Initiate source/measure cycle
INITiate
:INITiate[:IMMediate] Take Model 2500 out of idle state
Description This command is used to initiate source and measure operation by tak-
ing the Model 2500 out of idle. The :READ? and :MEASure? com-
mands also perform an initiation.
Command processing will halt until the trigger model returns to the idle
state, with the following exceptions:
• ABORt
• SDC
• DCL
• IFC
• SYSTem:PRESet, *RST, or *RCL
• *TRG or GET with TRIG:SOUR BUS
If any other command is sent after an INIT, only SDC, IFC, and DCL
will work.
Abort source/measure cycle
ABORt Abort operation
Description When this action command is sent, the Model 2500 aborts operation and
returns to the idle state.
A faster way to return to idle is to use the DCL or SDC command.
