Do you want to output each new average value as a measurement result or do you
want to bundle more measured values into one result?

ABORt
Immediately interrupts the current measurement. If the measurement has been started
as a single measurement (INITiate[:IMMediate]), the power sensor goes into the
idle state. However, if a continuous measurement is in progress (INITiate:
CONTinuous ON), the trigger system of the power sensor enters the waiting for trigger
state. When the trigger condition is met, a new measurement is immediately started.
See also Chapter 9.5, "Controlling the measurement", on page 73.
Usage:
Event
INITiate:ALL
INITiate[:IMMediate]
Starts a single measurement cycle. The power sensor changes from the idle state to
the waiting for trigger state. When the trigger condition is fulfilled, the power sensor
begins the measurement. Depending on the number of trigger events that are required,
e.g. for averaging, the power sensor enters the waiting for trigger state several times.
Once the entire measurement is completed, a measurement result is available, and the
power sensor enters the idle state again.
Use this command only after the continuous measurement mode has been disabled
using INITiate:CONTinuous OFF.
See also Chapter 9.5, "Controlling the measurement", on page 73.
Example:
See Chapter 10.3, "Performing a buffered continuous average
measurement", on page 146.
Usage: Event
INITiate:CONTinuous <state>
Enables or disables the continuous measurement mode. In continuous measurement
mode, the power sensor does not go into the idle state after a measurement has been
completed, but immediately executes another measurement cycle.
See also Chapter 9.5.2, "Triggering", on page 75.
