INITiate[:IMMediate]

Readings may not be obtained from memory until the trigger system has returned to the idle state. The FETCh? and READ? commands may be invoked before the trigger system is in the idle state. These commands will wait until the trigger system is idle before returning readings. The trigger idle state may be determined externally from the high-to-low transition of the BUSY bit (bit 8) of the STATus:OPERation:CONDition register.

Comments Executable when initiated: No

Coupled Command: No

Both measurement channels are affected by this command.

If the trigger system is not in the idle state, error -123,"Init ignored" will be generated, and the trigger system will be unaffected.

The ABORt command may be used to prematurely halt the trigger system and place the HP E1429A in the idle state.
