Keysight N6701C - Initiate Commands

Initiate Commands
Initiate commands initialize the trigger system. This enables the trigger system to receive triggers.
INITiate[:IMMediate]:ACQuire (@<chanlist>)
INITiate[:IMMediate]:ELOG (@<chanlist>)
INITiate[:IMMediate]:TRANsient (@<chanlist>)
INItiate:ACQuire and INITiate:ELOG commands require to be installed on
models N673xA. N674xA, N675xA, and N677xA.
INITiate:ACQuire - Initiates the measurement trigger system. When a measurement trigger is
initiated, an event on a selected trigger source causes the specified triggering action to occur.
INITiate:ELOG - Initiates external data logging. When the external data log is initiated, an event on a
selected external data log trigger source starts the data log.
INITiate:TRANsent - Initiates the transient trigger system. When initiated, an event on the selected
trigger source causes the specified triggered action to occur on the output.
Parameter Typical Return
(none) (none)
Initiates the measurement trigger system: INIT:ACQ (@1)
Initiates an external data log: INIT:ELOG (@1)
Initiates an external data log: INIT:ELOG (@1)
l It takes a few milliseconds for the instrument to be ready to receive a trigger signal after receiving
the INITiate command, and it can take longer if the value of SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts is neg-
ative.
l If a trigger occurs before the trigger system is ready for it, the trigger will be ignored. Check the
WTG_meas and the WTG_tran bits in the operation status register to know when the instrument is
ready.
l Use the appropriate ABORt command to return the instrument to the Idle state.
INITiate:CONTinuous:TRANsient 0|OFF|1|ON, (@<chanlist>)
INITiate:CONTinuous:TRANsient? (@<chanlist>)
Continuously initiates the transient trigger system. This allows multiple triggers to generate multiple
output transients.
Parameter Typical Return
0|OFF|1|ON , *RST ON 0or1
Continually initiates the trigger system: INIT:CONT:TRANON, (@1)
