R&S ESU Remote Control – Description of Commands
INITiate Subsystem
6.126 Operating Manual 1302.6163.12 - 03
In analyzer mode, 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 command *OPC, *OPC? or *WAI. In the
continuous-sweep mode, synchronization to the sweep end is not possible since the overall
measurement "never" ends.
Example:
"INIT2: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.
"INIT2;*WAI"
'Starts the measurement and waits for the end of the 20 sweeps.
"INIT2:CONM;*WAI"
'Continues the measurement (next 20 sequences) and waits for the end.
Characteristics: *RST value: -
SCPI: device-specific
Mode: R, A
This command is an event and therefore has no *RST value and no query.
INITiate<1|2>[:IMMediate]
The command initiates a new sweep in the indicated measurement window.
In receiver mode with SINGLE SCAN selected, the R&S ESU performs a single scan and stops at the
end frequency. With CONTINUOUS SCAN 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:
"INIT2: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.
"INIT2;*WAI"
'Starts the measurement and waits for the end of the 20 sweeps.
