INITiate, Example Enabling Continuous Scans | HP E1367A, E1366A

INITiate

	The INITiate subsystem selects continuous scanning cycles and starts the
	scanning cycle.
Subsystem Syntax	INITiate
	:CONTinuous ON OFF 1 0
	:CONTinuous?
	[:IMMediate]
:CONTinuous	INITiate:CONTinuous ON OFF 1 0 enables or disables continuous
	scanning cycles for the switchbox.

Parameters

ON OFF 1 0	boolean	ON OFF 1 0

Comments ∙ Continuous Scanning Operation: Continuous scanning is enabled with the INITiate:CONTinuous ON or INITiate:CONTinuous 1 command. Sending the INITiate[:IMMediate] command closes the first channel in the channel list.

∙Each trigger from a trigger source selected by the TRIGger:SOURce command advances the scan through the channel list. A trigger at the end of the channel list closes the first channel in the channel list and the scan cycle repeats.

∙Non-Continuous Scanning Operation: This is enabled with the

INITiate:CONTinuous OFF or INIT:CONT 0 command. Sending the

INIT:IMM command closes the first channel in the channel list.

Each trigger from a trigger source selected by the TRIGger:SOURce command advances the scan through the channel list. At the end of the scanning cycle, all channels in the channel list are closed.

∙Stopping Continuous Scans: See the ABORt command.

∙Related Commands: ABORt, ARM:COUNt, TRIGger

∙*RST Condition: INITiate:CONTinuous OFF

Example Enabling Continuous Scans

This example enables continuous scanning of channels 00 through 03 of a single-module switchbox. Since TRIGger:SOURce IMMediate (default) is set, use an interface clear command (such as CLEAR) to stop the scan.

INIT:CONT ON	! Enable continuous scanning
SCAN (@100:103)	! Define channel list
INIT	! Start scan cycle, close channel 00
