Fluke PM-3390B Syntax INITiateIMMediate, Trigger level becomes, Single shot acquisition

COMMAND REFERENCE 4 - 61

INITiate[:IMMediate]

Syntax: INITiate[:IMMediate]

Description:

This command causes the trigger system to be initiated once only, i.e., initiates one acquisition cycle. The actual acquisition starts when all trigger conditions have been met. After the acquisition has completed, the trigger system returns to the IDLE state.

Note: The OPERation status bits 3 (SWEeping) and 5 (Waiting for TRIGger) are valid when INITiate:CONTinuous is OFF and:

-the trigger mode is single-shot (TB MODE - single).

-the trigger mode is multiple-shot (TB MODE - multi).

Example:
Send → *RST	Resets the instrument.
Send → TRIGger:SOURce INTernal1	Trigger source becomes channel 1.
Send → TRIGger:LEVel .2	Trigger level becomes 0.2V.
Send → INITiate	Single shot acquisition.
Send → TRACe? CH1	Queries channel 1 trace.

Read ← <acquisition trace channel 1>

Note: For single-shot averaged acquisitions the trigger source must be one of the input shannels (INTerval <n>), instead if IMMediate (software automatic trigger).

Errors:

When an INITiate command is given while the trigger system is not in the IDLE state, the message -213,"Init ignored" is generated.
