R&S ZVL‑K1 INITiate Subsystem
INITiate Subsystem
The INITiate subsystem is used to control the init–measurement function.
Commands of the INITiate Subsystem
– INITiate[:IMMediate]
– INITiate:CONMeas
– INITiate:CONTinuous
– INITiate:DISPlay
– INITiate:ESPectrum
– INITiate:SPURious
INITiate[:IMMediate]
The command initiates a new measurement sequence.
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.
The numeric suffixes are irrelevant for this command.
This command is an event and therefore has no *RST value and no query.
Example
INIT:CONT OFF
Switches to single sweep mode.
DISP:WIND:TRAC:MODE AVER
Activates 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: conform
Mode
all
INITiate:CONMeas
This command continues a stopped measurement at the current position in single sweep mode.
The function is useful especially for trace functions MAXHold, MINHold and AVERage, if the
previous results are not to be cleared with sweep count > 0 or average count > 0 on restarting
the measurement (INIT:IMMediate resets the previous results on restarting the measurement).
The single sweep mode is automatically switched on. Synchronization to the end of the
indicated number of measurements can then be performed with the commands *OPC, *OPC? or
