A continuous measurement with statistics cycles
consisting of 100 bursts each is performed. Aver-
age results are calculated according to the rules
given in chapter 3. The measurement is started
with the INITiate command. Results can be
queried using the SAMPle...? command (status
RUN). During the measurement FETCh...? may
return inconsistent results. The measurement is
configured via:
CONFigure:<meas_obj>:CONTrol <type> 100

A continuous measurement with statistics cycles
consisting of 100 evaluation periods each is per-
formed. The measurement is started with the INI-
Tiate command. Results can be queried the
SAMPle...? command (status RUN, STOP).
During the measurement FETCh...? may return
inconsistent results. If the stop condition is met
during the first statistics cycle no valid result is
available. The measurement is configured via:
CONFigure:<meas_obj>:CONTrol <type> 100

A continuous measurement is performed. No sta-
tistics cycles are defined. The measurement is
started with the INITiate command. Results can
be queried using the SAMPle...? command
(status RUN). During the measurement

measurement is configured via:

Note: The stepping mode can be set for continuous measurements as well (Parameter <Step-
mode>=STEP, see section Counting Measurements on page 5.39). In this case, the sys-
tem takes up the STEP status after each statistics cycle. It can be relaunched via the CON-
Tinue command.
