:INITiate[:IMMediate]
This command initiates a sweep if not in a measurement. If in a me asurement, it
triggers the measurement. A “measurement” refers to any function under the

Use the :TRIGer[:SEQuence]:SO URce EXTernal
command to select the external trigger.
The instrument must be in the single measurement mode. If
:INITiate:CONTinuous is ON then the command is ignored.

Pause the Measurement
:INITiate:PAUSe
This command applies to measurements found in the MEASURE menu. Use this
command to pause the current measuremen t by changing the current measurement
state from the “wait for trigger” state to the “paused” state. If the measurement is
not in the “wait for trigger” state when the command is issued, the transition will
be made the next time that state is en tered as part of the trigger cycle. W hen in the
pause state, the analyzer auto-a lign process stops. If the analyzer is paused for a
long period of time, measurement accuracy may degrade.
Remarks: Only applies to auto measure.
