3.9.9.1 Sweep/Control
This tab accesses controls that enable you to operate the Sweep and Control
functions of the analyzer, such as Sweep Time and Continuous/Single
Sweep/Measure
Allows you to toggle between Continuous and Single sweep or measurement
operation. The single/continuous state is Meas Global so the setting will affect all
measurements.
The front-panel key Single/Cont performs this exact same function

Command
:INITiate:CONTinuous OFF | ON | 0 | 1
:INITiate:CONTinuous?
Example
:INIT:CONT 0
puts analyzer in Single measurement operation.
:INIT:CONT OFF
puts analyzer in Single measurement operation.
:INIT:CONT 1
puts analyzer in Continuous measurement operation.
:INIT:CONT ON
puts analyzer in Continuous measurement operation
Preset ON
(Note that SYST:PRESet sets INIT:CONT to ON but *RST sets INIT:CONT to OFF)

Annunciation The Single/Continuous icon in the Meas Bar changes depending on the setting. A line with an arrow is
single, a loop with an arrow is Continuous.

Notes
For Spectrum Analysis mode in ESA and PSA, there is no Cont hardkey, instead there is a Sweep
Single/Cont softkey. In these analyzers, switching the Sweep Single/Cont softkey from Single to Cont
restarts averages (displayed average count reset to 1), but does not restart Max Hold and Min Hold.
The X-Series A-models have Single and Cont hardkeys in place of the SweepSingleCont softkey. In the
X-Series A-models, if in single measurement, the Cont hardkey (and INIT:CONT ON ) switches to
continuous measurement, but never restarts a measurement and never resets a sweep.
The X-Series B-models have a Cont/Single toggle control instead of Single and Cont hardkeys, but it is
still true that, if in single measurement, the Cont/Single toggle control never restarts a measurement
and never resets a sweep.
For Spectrum Analysis mode in ESA and PSA, the Single hardkey and the INITiate:IMM switched from
continuous measurement to single measurement and restarted sweeps and averages (displayed
average count reset to 1), but did not restart Max Hold and Min Hold. In the X-Series, the Restart
