Keysight N6705C - Initiate Commands

Initiate Commands
Initiate commands initialize the trigger system. This enables the trigger system to receive triggers.
INITiate[:IMMediate]:ACQuire (@<chanlist>)
INITiate[:IMMediate]:DLOG <"filename">
INITiate[:IMMediate]:ELOG (@<chanlist>)
INITiate[:IMMediate]:HISTogram (@<chanlist>)
INITiate[:IMMediate]:TRANsient (@<chanlist>)
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:DLOG - Initiates internal data logging. When the internal data log is initiated, an event on a
selected data log trigger source starts a data log. The filename in which to save the data should be
the full path and filename. All data log files must have the extension .dlog.
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:HISTogram - Initiates a histogram current measurement. A histogram measurement provides
a statistical measurement for profiling the signal levels of a sense function.
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
INIT:DLOG: <"filename">String program data. Enclose string parameters in singleor
double quotes.
(none)
Initiates the measurement trigger system: INIT:ACQ (@1)
Initiates an internal data log: INIT:DLOG "Daltalog1.dlog"
Initiates an external data log: INIT:ELOG (@1)
Initiates a histogram currentmeasurement: INIT:HIST(@1)
Initiates the transient trigger system: INIT:TRAN (@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.
