• The query returns 1 or 0 into the output buffer. 1 is
returned when in a continuous measurement state. 0 is
returned when there is only a single measurement.
*RST: Continuous
Key access: Sweep > Sweep
Single/Cont
Initiate a Single Sweep
:INITiate[:IMMediate]
This command initiates a sweep if not in a measurement. If
in a measurement, it triggers the measurement.
Remarks: See also the *TRG command
Use the :TRIGer[:SEQuence]:SOURce EXTernal
command to select the external trigger.
The analyzer must be in the single measurement mode. If
:INITiate:CONTinuous is ON, the command is ignored.
If the analyzer is in signal identification mode, two sweeps
are required, as this mode relies on the acquisition of data
from two successive sweeps. Therefore, if the analyzer is in
single sweep mode, two sweep triggers are needed to
generate the sweep pair. In image suppress mode,
synchronization is ensured by first turning off signal
identification, initiating a single sweep, then turning on
signal identification followed by two single sweeps.
Example: :INITiate
Key access: Sweep > Single Sweep
