INITiate [:IMMediate]

INITiate

The INITiate command subsystem controls the initiation of the trigger system

 

for one or more trigger cycles. INITiate enables while ABORt disables the

 

trigger system. The TRIGger command subsystem controls the behavior of the

 

trigger system while it is enabled.

[:IMMediate]

 

 

 

[:IMMediate] INITiate:IMMediate changes the trigger system from the Idle state to the Wait

 

For Trigger state.

 

Comments

• If TRIGger:SOURce is IMMediate, the Pacer starts. If TRIG:SOURce is

 

BUS, EXT, or HOLD, the Pacer will start when that trigger condition is

 

satisfied.

 

 

• Sending the ABORt command will reset the trigger system back to its

 

Idle state and terminate any pacer pulse train in progress.

 

• Sending INIT while the system is still in the Wait for Trigger state

 

(already INITiated) will cause an error -213,"Init ignored".
