Initiate Subsystem
Initiate Subsystem
The INITiate subsystem is used to control the initiation of
the spectrum analyzer sweep operation.
Continuous or Single Sweep
:INITiate:CONTinuous OFF|ON|0|1
:INITiate:CONTinuous?
Selects whether the sweep operation is continuously initiated
or not.
This command affects sweep if not in a measurement, and
affects trigger when in a measurement. This corresponds to
continuous sweep or single sweep operation when not in a
measurement, and continuous measurement or single
measurement operation when in a measurement.
When not in a measurement, this command does the
following:
• When ON at the completion of each sweep cycle, the
sweep system immediately initiates another sweep cycle.
• When OFF, the sweep system remains in an “idle” state
until CONTinuous is ON or :INITiate[:IMMediate] is
received. On receiving the :INITiate[:IMMediate]
command, it will go through a single sweep cycle, and
then return to the “idle” state.
• The query returns 1 or 0 into the output buffer. 1 is
returned when there is continuous sweeping. 0 is
returned when there is only a single sweep.
When in a measurement, this command does the following:
• When ON at the completion of each trigger cycle, the
trigger system immediately initiates another trigger cycle.
• When OFF, the trigger system remains in an “idle” state
until CONTinuous is ON or :INITiate[:IMMediate] is
received. On receiving the :INITiate[:IMMediate]
command, it will go through a single trigger cycle, and
then return to the “idle” state.
