(24) Triggering
Relationship between Trigger Source and Continuous Measurement Operation
Operation depends on the continuous measurement setting (
:INITIATE:CONTINUOUS
) (p.38) and the
trigger source setting (
:TRIGGER:SOURCE
) (p.38) as follows.

The
:INITIATE:CONTINUOUS OFF
can only be set by Remote command.
If this has been set to OFF, when operation is returned to the Local state or power is turned off,
the
:INITIATE:CONTINUOUS ON
state occurs when power is turned back on.
