14 TRIGger Subsystem
648 N1911A/1912A P-Series Power Meters Programming Guide
INITiate[1]|2:CONTinuous <boolean>
This command sets the power meter for either a single trigger cycle or
continuous trigger cycles. A trigger cycle means that the power meter exits
the wait for trigger state and starts a measurement.
When entering local mode, if TRIGger[:SEQuence[1]|2]:SOURce is set to
INT[[1]|2] or EXT, INITiate:CONTinuous is not changed. For other
trigger sources, INITiate:CONTinuous is set to ON.
If INITiate:CONTinuous is set to:
• OFF, the trigger system remains in the idle state until it is set to ON, or
INITiate:IMMediate is received. Once this trigger cycle is complete
the trigger system returns to the idle state.
• ON, the trigger system is initiated and exits the idle state. On
completion of each trigger cycle, the trigger system immediately
commences another trigger cycle without entering the idle state.
NOTE
This command performs the same function as
INITiate:CONTinuous:SEQuence[1]|2 <boolean>.
