Fluke PM6681R, PM6685R manual INITiate CONTinuous, Initiate Measurement, Continuously Initiated

:INITiate

Initiate Measurement

PM6680B/81/85

The ￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿ command initiates a measurement. Executing an :INITiate com- mand changes the counter’s trigger subsystem state from “idle-state” to “wait-for-bus-arm-state” (see Figure 6-15). The trigger subsystem will continue to the other states, depending on programming. With the *RST setting, the trigger subsystem will bypass all its states and make a measurement, then return to idle state. See also ‘How to use the Trigger Subsystem’ at the end of this chapter.

Complies to standards: SCPI 1991.0, confirmed.

:INITiate :CONTinuous

￿<Boolean>

Continuously Initiated

PM6680B/81/85

The trigger system could continuously be initiated with this command. When Con- tinuous is OFF, the trigger system remains in the “idle-state” until Continuous is set to ON or the :INITiate is received. When Continuous is set to ON, the comple- tion of a measurement cycle immediately starts a new trigger cycle without enter- ing the “idle-state”, i.e., the counter is continuously measuring and storing re- sponse data.
