Operating instructions

R&S ESCI INITiate Subsystem
1166.6004.12 6.107 E-1
INITiate<1|2>[:IMMediate]
The command initiates a new sweep in the indicated measurement window.
In receiver mode with SINGLE selected, the R&S ESCI performs a single scan and stops at the end
frequency. With CONTINUOUS selected, the scan is performed continuously until it is deliberately
stopped.
In analyzer mode, with Sweep Count > 0 or Average Count > 0, this means a restart of the indicated
number of measurements. With trace functions MAXHold, MINHold and AVERage, the previous
results are reset on restarting the measurement.
In single sweep mode, synchronization to the end of the indicated number of measurements can be
achieved with the command *OPC, *OPC? or *WAI. In continuous-sweep mode, synchronization to
the sweep end is not possible since the overall measurement never ends.
Example: "INIT:CONT OFF" 'Switches to single-sweep mode.
"DISP:WIND:TRAC:MODE AVER 'Switches on trace averaging.
"SWE:COUN 20" Setting the sweep counter to 20 sweeps.
"INIT;*WAI" 'Starts the measurement and waits for the
'end of the 20 sweeps.
Characteristics: *RST value: -
SCPI: conforming
Mode: all
This command is an event and therefore has no *RST value and no query.
INITiate<1|2>:DISPlay ON | OFF
This command configures the behavior of the display during a single sweep.
INITiate:DISPlay OFF means that the display is switched off during the measurement,
INITiate:DISPlay ON means that the display is switched on during the measurement.
The numeric suffix of INITiate is irrelevant with this command.
Example: "INIT:CONT OFF" 'Switches to single-sweep mode
"INIT:DISP OFF 'Sets the display behavior to OFF
"INIT;*WAI" 'Starts the measurement with display
'switched off.
Characteristics: *RST value: ON
SCPI: device-specific
Mode: A
