Restart
Restart

The Restart function restarts the current sweep, or measurement, or set of averaged/held sweeps or

measurements. If you are Paused, pressing Restart does a Resume.

The Restart function is accessed in several ways:

• Pressing the Restart key

• Sending the remote command INIT:IMMediate

• Sending the remote command INIT:RESTart

The Restart function first aborts the current sweep/measurement as quickly as possible. It then resets the

sweep and trigger systems, sets up the measurement and initiates a new data measurement sequence with

a new data acquisition (sweep) taken once the trigger condition is met.

Key Path: Front-panel key
Remote Command: :INITiate[:IMMediate]
:INITiate:RESTart
Example: :INIT:IMM
:INIT:REST
Notes: :INITiate:RESTart and :INITiate:IMMediate perform exactly the same
function.
Couplings: Resets average/hold count k. For the first sweep overwrites all active
(update=on) traces with new current data. For application modes, it resets
other parameters as required by the measurement.
Status Bits/OPC dependencies: This is an Overlapped command.
The STATus:OPERation register bits 0 through 8 are cleared.
The STATus:QUEStionable register bit 9 (INTegrity sum) is cleared.
The SWEEPING bit is set.
The MEASURING bit is set.
Backwards Compatibility Notes: For Spectrum Analysis mode in ESA and PSA, the Restart hardkey and the
INITiate:RESTart command restart trace averages (displayed average count
reset to 1) for a trace in Clear Write, but did not restart Max Hold and Min
Hold.
In the X-Series, the Restart hardkey and the INITiate:RESTart command
restart not only Trace Average, but Max Hold and Min Hold traces as well.
For wireless comms modes in ESA and PSA, the Restart hardkey and the
INITiate:RESTart command restart every measurement, which includes all
traces and numeric results. There is no change to this operation.
