TRIGger Subsystem 12
U8480 Series Programming Guide 301
INITiate[1]:CONTinuous <boolean>
This command sets the U8480 Series for either a single trigger cycle or 
continuous trigger cycles. A trigger cycle means that the U8480 Series exits the 
wait-for-trigger state and starts a measurement. 
If INITiate[1]:CONTinuous is set to:
– OFF, the trigger system remains in the idle state until it is set to ON or 
INITiate[1][:IMMediate] is received. Once this trigger cycle is complete, the 
trigger system returns to the idle state.
– ON, the trigger system is initiated and exits the idle state. On completion of 
each trigger cycle, the trigger system immediately commences another trigger 
cycle without entering the idle state.
