6 List Sequence Measurements
Restart
Restart
The Restart function restarts the current sweep, or measurement, or set of averaged/held sweeps or
measurements. If you are Paused, pressing Restart does a Resume.
The Restart function is accessed in several ways:
•
Pressing the Restart key
•
Sending the remote command INIT:IMMediate
•
Sending the remote command INIT:RESTart
See
"More Information" on page 492
Key Path
Front-panel key
Remote Command
:INITiate[:IMMediate]
:INITiate:RESTart
Example
:INIT:IMM
:INIT:REST
Notes
:INITiate:RESTart and :INITiate:IMMediate perform exactly the same function.
Couplings
Resets average/hold count k. For the first sweep overwrites all active (update=on) traces with new
current data. For application modes, it resets other parameters as required by the measurement.
Status Bits/OPC
dependencies
This is an Overlapped command.
The STATus:OPERation register bits 0 through 8 are cleared.
The STATus:QUEStionable register bit 9 (INTegrity sum) is cleared.
The SWEEPING bit is set.
The MEASURING bit is set.
Backwards Compatibility
Notes
For Spectrum Analysis mode in ESA and PSA, the
Restart
hardkey and the INITiate:RESTart
command restart trace averages (displayed average count reset to 1) for a trace in
Clear Write
, but
did not restart
Max Hold
and
Min Hold
.
In the X-Series, the
Restart
hardkey and the INITiate:RESTart command restart not only
Trace
Average
, but
MaxHold
and
MinHold
traces as well.
For wireless comms modes in ESA and PSA, the
Restart
hardkey and the INITiate:RESTart command
restart every measurement, which includes all traces and numeric results. There is no change to this
operation.

More Information
The Restart function first aborts the current sweep/measurement as quickly as possible. It then resets the
sweep and trigger systems, sets up the measurement and initiates a new data measurement sequence
with a new data acquisition (sweep) taken once the trigger condition is met.
If the analyzer is in the process of aligning when Restart is executed, the alignment finishes before the
restart function is performed.
