:INITiate<ch>[:POWer]:CONTinuous <Continuous>
The command switches the local state of the continuous power measurement by the R&S
NRP-Zxx power sensors on and off. Switching the local state off enhances the measure-
ment performance during remote control
The remote measurement is triggered by the READ query (command :READ<ch>[:
POWer] on page 486) which also provides the measurement results. The local state is
not influenced by this command, measurements results can be retrieved with local state
on or off.
Parameters:
<Continuous> 0 | 1 | OFF | ON
*RST:  OFF
Example: 
INIT:CONT ON
switches local state of continuous power measurement on.
:READ<ch>[:POWer]?
The command triggers the measurement with power sensors and provides the power
measurement result of the selected power sensor. The value is provided with the unit set
with command SENSe:UNIT[:POWer].
For certain power sensors, e.g. R&S NRP-Z81, two values are returned, first the value
for the average level and - separated by a comma - the peak level
Note: The local state is not influenced by this command, measurements results can be
retrieved with local state on or off. For long measurement times it is recommended to use
a SRQ (MAV bit) for command synchronization.
