The query yields
• 1 for OFF,
• 2 for ON.
Default setting: OFF
INITiate:IMMediate
INITiate:IMMediate starts a single measurement cycle. The sensor first changes from the IDLE state to
the WAIT_FOR_TRIGGER state and begins the measurement as soon as the trigger condition is
fulfilled. Depending on the number of trigger events that are required, e.g. for averaging, the
WAIT_FOR_TRIGGER state can be entered several times. Once the entire measurement is completed,
a measurement result is available and the sensor enters the IDLE state again. The INITiate:IMMediate
command should only be used after the continuous measurement mode has been switched off with the
INITiate:CONTinuous OFF command.
TRIGger:COUNt[?] 1 to 2
31
This setting is designed for applications in which several consecutive measurements have to be
performed by sending the INITiate:IMMediate command only once, e.g. to obtain a higher measurement
speed. The gap between a single measurement and the continuous measurement mode is thus closed.
The number of measurements is defined with the parameter associated with the TRIGger:COUNt
command. This number equals the number of results yielded by the sensor at the end of the
measurement. A measurement result can contain several numeric results, e.g. power values for the
points of a trace.
The TRIGger:COUNt
command does not define the number of trigger events required for
performing the entire measurement task. The number is either identical or a whole-
number multiple, if averaging was activated.
A further increase in the measurement speed can be obtained by combining the mode
used with the buffered mode. The results are not made available immed
iately but as a
block at the end of the measurement sequence (see group commands
SENSe:POWer:AVG:BUFFer).
The query yields the number of measurements performed with the INIT:IMMediate command after a
measurement start.
Default setting: 1
TRIGger:DELay[?] 0 to 100.0
TRIGger:DELay defines the delay (in seconds) between the occurrence of the trigger event and the
beginning of the measurement itself.
Any trigger delay that is set comes into effect irrespective of the defined trigger source, but this is only
useful with the Internal und External settings.
The query yields the set trigger delay (in seconds).
Default setting: 0.0 [s]
