Initiating the Trigger Function

If the trigger source parameter of the sequence 1 group or sequence 3 group is set to IMM, change or measurement starts immediately. If set to BUS, change or measurement starts when a software trigger is received.

When measurement starts in the sequence 3 group, the MEAS bit of the OPER register is set. When the measurement is completed, the bit is reset.

INIT:SEQ3 or INIT:NAME ACQ discards the measured data that is held. If an FETC? query is sent immediately after INIT:SEQ3, measured data is returned after waiting for the measurement to complete.

INIT:SEQ1/INIT:SEQ3

Initiates the trigger function of the sequence 1 group or sequence 3 group, independently.

Carries out the same operation as INIT:NAME.

Command (sequence 1)

INITiate[:IMMediate]:SEQuence1

Command (sequence 3)

INITiate[:IMMediate]:SEQuence3

INIT:NAME

Initiates the trigger function of the sequence 1 group or sequence 3 group, independently.

Carries out the same operation as INIT:SEQ1/INIT:SEQ3.

Command

INITiate[:IMMediate]:NAME {TRANsient|ACQuire}

Value: TRAN Sequence 1
  ACQ Sequence 3
