INITiate:ALL
INITiate[:IMMediate]
Starts a single measurement cycle. The sensor changes from the idle state to the wait-
ing for trigger state. As soon as the trigger condition is fulfilled, the sensor begins the
measurement. Depending on the number of trigger events that are required, e.g. for
averaging, the sensor enters the waiting for trigger state several times. Once the entire
measurement is completed, a measurement result is available, and the sensor enters
the idle state again.
Use the command only after the continuous measurement mode has been switched off
(
INITiate:CONTinuous OFF
).
See also Chapter 7.5, "Controlling the Measurement" , on page 42.
Example: See Chapter 8.2, "Performing a Buffered Continuous Average
Measurement" , on page 97.
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 7.5.2, "Triggering" , on page 43.
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 8.2, "Performing a Buffered Continuous Average
Measurement" , on page 97.
7.5.2 Triggering
In a basic continuous measurement, the measurement is started immediately after the
initiate command, see also
Chapter 7.5.2.2, "Waiting for a Trigger Event" ,
on page 44. 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.
