Notes
Series A-models, if in single measurement, the Cont hardkey (and INIT:CONT ON) switched to
continuous measurement, but never restarted a measurement and never reset a sweep
X-Series B-models have a Cont/Single toggle control instead of Single and Cont hardkeys, but it is still
true that, if in single measurement, the Cont/Single toggle control never restarts a measurement and
never resets a sweep
More Information
Continuous
Mode
The instrument takes repetitive sweeps, averages, measurements, etc., when in
continuous mode. If in average or Max/Min Hold, and the average/hold count
reaches the Average/Hold Num, the count stops incrementing, but the instrument
keeps sweeping
See the Trace key description under Trace Average for the averaging formula used
both before and after the Average/Hold Num is reached. The trigger condition
must be met prior to each sweep
The type of trace processing for multiple sweeps is set under the Trace key, with
choices of TraceAverage, Max Hold, or Min Hold
Single Mode The instrument takes a single sweep when in Single mode, or if in average or
Max/Min Hold, or if there is a Waterfall window displayed, it takes multiple sweeps
until the average/hold count reaches the Average/Hold Num, then the count stops
incrementing, and the instrument stops sweeping
See the Trace key description under Trace Average for the averaging formula used.
The trigger condition must be met prior to the sweep
The type of trace processing for multiple sweeps is set under the Trace key, with
choices of TraceAverage, Max Hold, or Min Hold
If the instrument is in Single measurement mode, pressing the Cont/Single toggle
control does not zero the count and does not cause the sweep to be reset; the only
action is to put the instrument into Continuous measurement operation.
If the instrument is already in Continuous sweep:
–
:INIT:CONT 1 has no effect
–
:INIT:CONT 0 places the instrument in Single Sweep but has no effect on the
current sequence until k = N, at which point the current sequence will stop and
the instrument will go to the idle state
See "Restart" on page 1724 for details of :INIT:IMMediate.
If the instrument is already in Single sweep, :INIT:CONT OFF has no effect.
If the instrument is already in Single sweep, then pressing Cont/Single in the middle
of a sweep does not restart the sweep or sequence. Similarly, pressing Cont/Single
does not restart the sweep or sequence if the sweep is not in the idle state (for
example, if you are taking a very slow sweep, or the instrument is waiting for a
trigger). Even though pressing Cont/Single in the middle of a sweep does not restart
the sweep, sending :INIT:IMM does reset it.
