:INITiate:AUTO <Boolean>

Query Response

Keys

Sets or queries if the Counter should stop measurements or continue measuring (go on) when a measurement exceeds the user-entered limits.

AUTO ON configures the Counter to automatically stop measuring (set :INIT:CONT to OFF) on a limit test failure (that is, out-of-limit results are detected). AUTO OFF configures the Counter to continue measuring (leave :INIT:CONT unaffected) when the limit test fails.

The AUTO ON capability is only meaningful when the Counter is limit testing (:CALC2:LIM:STAT is ON) and :INIT:CONT is ON.

∙Single ASCII-encoded byte, 0 or 1.

∙A value of 0 indicates OFF; a value of 1 indicates ON. *RST: OFF

Limit Modes

:INITiate:CONTinuous <Boolean>

Sets or queries the enable for continuously initiated measurements .

With CONTinuous set to OFF, no measurements are made until CONTinuous is set to ON or :INITiate[:IMMediate] is received.

Once CONTinuous is set to ON, a new measurement is initiated.

On the completion of each measurement, with CONTinuous ON, another measurement immediately commences.

Query Response ∙ Single ASCII-encoded byte, 0 or 1.

∙A value of 0 indicates OFF; a value of 1 indicates ON.
