5.3.9 INITiate Subsystem
INITiate
. [:IMMediate]
Start command to initiate measurement. Is also used as a start command for different SCAN types.
If SENSe:FREQuency:MODE is set on CW|FIXed a measurement is carried out with every INITiate
command and the measurement result might be stored in MTRACE or ITRACE.
If SENSe:FREQuency:MODE is set on SWEep|MSCan|PSCan, the corresponding scan is started and
for each step a measurement is carried out.
If, for example, the path is set to the measurement value buffer MTRACE by means of the command
TRACE:FEED:CONTrol MTRACE, ALWays then the measurement values are stored in MTRACE.
Parameters:
none
Example:
INITiate
. :CONM
. . [:IMMediate]
Command to CONtinue a Measurement. Is also used as continue command for different SCAN types.
MTRACE and ITRACE data sets are not deleted and are filled with measurement results according to
setting:
If SENSe:FREQuency:MODE is set to CW|FIXed, a measurement is carried out and possibly stored in
MTRACE or ITRACE.
If SENSe:FREQuency:MODE is set to SWEep|MSCan|PSCan, a measurement is carried out for each
step and stored in MTRACE or ITRACE. As an alternative, the command *TRG or the interface message
Group Execute Trigger (GET) can be used. The response time is the shortest for a GET, which is why a
GET should always be used for time-critical measurements.
Parameters:
none
Example:
INITiate:CONM
