INITiate

	The INITiate subsystem selects continuous scanning cycles and starts the
	scanning cycle.
Subsystem Syntax	INITiate
	:CONTinuous <mode>
	:CONTinuous?
	[:IMMediate]
:CONTinuous	INITiate:CONTinuous <mode> enables or disables continuous scanning
	cycles for the switchbox.

Parameters

Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Range of Values	Default Value

mode	boolean	0 1 ON OFF	OFF 0

Comments ∙ Continuous Scanning Operation: Continuous scanning is enabled with the INITiate:CONTinuous ON or INITiate:CONTinuous 1 command. Sending the INITiate[:IMMediate] command closes the first channel in the channel list. Each trigger from a trigger source selected by the TRIGger:SOURce command advances the scan through the channel list. A trigger at the end of the channel list closes the first channel in the list and the scan cycle repeats.

∙Non-Continuous Scanning Operation: Non-continuous scanning is enabled with the INITiate:CONTinuous OFF or INITiate:CONTinuous 0 command. Sending the INITiate[:IMMediate] command closes the first channel in the channel list. Each trigger from a trigger source selected by the TRIGger:SOURce command advances the scan through the channel list. At the end of the scanning cycle, the last channel in the channel list is closed.

∙Stopping Continuous Scans: See the ABORt command.

∙Related Commands: ABORt, ARM:COUNt, TRIGger, TRIGger:SOURce

Example Enabling Continuous Scans

This example enables continuous scanning of channels 00 through 02 of a single-module switchbox. Since TRIGger:SOURce IMMediate (default) is set, use an interface clear command (such as CLEAR) to stop the scan.

INIT:CONT ON	Enables continuous scanning.
SCAN (@100:102)	Defines channel list.
INIT	Start scan cycle, close channel 00.
