Arming the Triggering Cycle
■
INITiate:CONTinuous
■
INITiate[:IMMediate]
The Initiate commands enable the power meter to acquire measurement data at the next instrument
trigger. In the absence of an instrument signal, the 58542 is placed in the waiting-for-trigger-state. The
default configuration is continuous initiation, INIT:CONT ON.
INITiate[:IMMediate] causes the power meter to exit the idle state and causes the trigger system to
initiate and complete one full trigger cycle, returning to the idle state upon completion. For example,
INITiate[:IMMediate] can be used with Peak Power Sensors to measure the power level of transient or
one-shot pulsed microwave signals. After execution of the triggering sequence, send the FETCh? query
command to return the measurement data from the 58542.
Perform triggering configuration with the TRIGger Subsystem commands. When TRIGger:SOURce is
IMMediate, the measurement will start as soon as INITiate is sent to the 58542 and executed (or
INITiate:CONTinuous ON sent and executed).
INIT:CONT
Syntax:
INITiate:CONTinuous
space
<ON | OFF>
Example:
OUTPUT @PWR_MTR;INIT:CONT ON
! CONTINUOUS TRIGGERING
Description:
This allows user control of measurement cycle arming. When INIT:CONT is set to ON,
measurement cycle arming occurs automatically. The default setting is OFF. To take control of
arming the triggering of the measurement cycle, set this control to OFF and use MEAS#? or
INIT with READ#? to perform the measurement. Another legal measurement control option
would be INIT with TRIG: IMM and FETC#?
When INITiate:CONTinuous is ON, the instrument triggering cycle resets continuously. That
is, upon instrument triggering, data is constantly being acquired and updated. Upon
completion of a trigger cycle, the meter will immediately enter the wait-for-trigger state rather
than the idle state, as is the case with INITiate:CONT OFF.
INIT:IMM
Syntax:
INITiate[:IMMediate]
Example:
OUTPUT @PWR_MTR;INIT
! INITIATE INSTRUMENT TRIGGERING CYCLE
Description:
This command enables the triggering cycle. Instrument triggering will not occur unless INIT
has been enabled, even when sending BUS or EXT triggers to the 58542. Either this
command or INIT:CONT ON performs measurements with FETCh? and READ?. MEAS? is a
high level function which contains the INITiation enabling function. Arming occurs
automatically when using the MEAS#? command to automatically INITiate, TRIGger and
FETCh the measurement data. However, if using READ#? or FETCh#? to read data, this
command arms the 58542 for triggering upon the occurrence of the next valid trigger.
The INITiate[:IMMediate] command places the power meter in the wait-for-trigger-state. When
used with EXT (TTL levels) instrument triggering, this command is useful for measuring
signals that are asynchronous with programming (BUS triggered) sequences. When
INITiate:CONTinuous is set to OFF, INITiate:[IMMediate] enables the instrument triggering
cycle. Sending INITiate:[IMMediate] when INITiate:CONTinuous is set to ON will cause a -123
command error. The INITiate [:IMMediate] command is an event; no query form exists for this
command.
