70 User Manual 1177.6023.02 ─ 08
Use the command only after the continuous measurement mode has been switched off
(
INITiate:CONTinuous OFF
).
See also Chapter 9.5, "Controlling the Measurement" , on page 69.
Example: See Chapter 10.2, "Performing a Buffered Continuous Average
Measurement" , on page 128.
Usage: Event
INITiate:CONTinuous <state>
Activates/deactivates the continuous measurement mode. In continuous measurement
mode, the power sensor does not go into the idle state after a measurement has been
completed, but immediately executes another measurement cycle.
See also Chapter 9.5.2, "Triggering" , on page 70.
Parameters:
<state> ON
Measurements are performed continuously. If a measurement is
completed, the sensor does not return to the idle state but enters
the waiting for trigger state again.
OFF
Ends the continuous measurement mode, and sets the sensor to
the idle state.
*RST:
OFF
Example: See Chapter 10.2, "Performing a Buffered Continuous Average
Measurement" , on page 128.
Manual operation: See "Measurement" on page 45
9.5.2 Triggering
In a basic continuous measurement, the measurement is started immediately after the
initiate command, see also
Chapter 9.5.2.2, "Waiting for a Trigger Event" , on page 71.
However, sometimes you want that the measurement starts only if a specific condition
is fulfilled. For example, if a signal level is exceeded, or in certain time intervals. For
these cases, you can define a trigger for the measurement.

9.5.2.1 Trigger States
The power sensor has trigger states to define the exact start and stop time of a mea-
surement and the sequence of a measurement cycle. The following states are defined:
●
Idle
The power sensor performs no measurement. After powered on, the power sensor
is in the idle state.
