This subsystem controls the initiation of the trigger system and defines the scope of the triggered measurement.
Command tree: INITiate<Ch>
Qualifies whether the analyzer measures in single sweep or in continuous sweep mode.
|
<Ch> |
Channel number. The channel is ignored because the command affects all channels.
|
|
<Boolean> |
ON - The analyzer measures continuously, repeating the current sweep. OFF - The measurement is stopped after the number of sweeps defined via [SENSe<Ch>:]SWEep:COUNt. INITiate<Ch>[:IMMediate] initiates a new measurement cycle. |
|
*RST value |
ON
|
|
SCPI, Command Types |
Confirmed, command or query
|
|
Example: |
*RST; :INIT:CONT OFF Activate single sweep mode for all channels (including channel no. 2 created later). INIT:SCOP SING State that a single sweep will be performed in the active channel only. CALC2:PAR:SDEF 'TRC2','S11'; :INIT2 Create channel no. 2 with a new trace and start a single sweep in channel no. 2.
|
Starts a new single sweep sequence. This command is available in single sweep mode only (INITiate<Ch>:CONTinuous OFF). The data of the last sweep (or previous sweeps, see Sweep History) can be read using CALCulate<Ch>:DATA:NSWeep:FIRSt? SDATa, <count>.
In contrast to all other commands of the analyzer,
INITiate<Ch>[:IMMediate]
has been implemented for overlapped execution; see Command
Synchronization.
|
<Ch> |
Channel number. If the channel number does not exist the analyzer returns an error message. If INITiate<Ch>[:IMMediate]:SCOPe ALL is active, this suffix is ignored.

Example: |

Selects the scope of the single sweep sequence. The setting is applied in single sweep mode only (INITiate<Ch>:CONTinuous OFF).

<Ch> |
Channel number. The channel is ignored because the command affects all channels.
|
|
ALL |
INITiate<Ch>[:IMMediate] starts a single sweep in all channels. |
|
SINGle |
INITiate<Ch>[:IMMediate] starts a single sweep in the referenced channel <Ch> only. |
