INITiate[:IMMediate]
Syntax
INITiate[:IMMediate]
This command changes the state of the triggering system from the “idle” state to
the “wait-for-trigger” state. Measurements will begin when the specified trigger
conditions are satisfied following the receipt of the
INIT
command.
Remarks
– To retrieve the reading, use the
FETC?
command.
– The
ABOR
command may be used to set the U2741A to idle state.
– The
INIT
command only initiates the measurement and needs a trigger (
BUS
or
IMMediate
) to make the actual measurement.
