B.20 INITiate[:IMMediate] COMMAND
INIT[:IMM]
Syntax: Short Form: INIT:[IMM] Long Form: INITiate[:IMMediate]
Description: Enables a single trigger. If INIT:CONT is OFF, then INIT[:IMM] arms the trigger system for a single
trigger. If INIT:CONT is ON, then the trigger system is continuously armed and INIT[:IMM] is redun-
dant. This command enables a single trigger. A GPIB , *TRG or command completes the
sequence. Upon receipt of the or *TRG command, the power supply will return to the pro-
grammed values of voltage and current established by the VOLT:TRIG and CURR:TRIG commands.
After a GPIB or *TRG command has been received, subsequent GPIB , *TRG com-
mands have no effect unless preceded by INIT or INIT:CONT ON. Related Commands: , *RST,
*TRG. (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.21 INITiate:CONTinuous COMMAND
INIT:CONT
Syntax: Short Form: INIT:CONT {ON | OFF} or {1 | 0} (1 = on, 0 = off)
Long Form: INITiate:CONTinuous {ON | OFF} or {1 | 0} (1 = on, 0 = off)
Description: INIT:CONT ON enables continuous triggers.; INIT:CONT OFF disables continuous triggers. If
INIT:CONT is OFF, then INIT[:IMM] arms the trigger system for a single trigger. If INIT:CONT is ON,
then the trigger system is continuously armed and INIT[:IMM] is redundant. Executing *RST command
sets INIT:CONT to OFF. (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.22 INITiate:CONTinuous QUERY
INIT:CONT?
Syntax: Short Form: INIT:CONT? Long Form: INITiate:CONTinuous?
Return Value: 1 or 0
Description: Determines whether continuous triggers are enabled or disabled. Power supply returns value of
INIT:CONT flag: “1” = continuous triggers are enabled (INIT:CONT ON); “0” = continuous triggers dis-
abled (INIT:CONT OFF). (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.23 INSTrument:STATe COMMAND 
INST:STAT
Syntax: Short Form: INST:STAT Long Form: INSTrument:STATe
Description: Operation is identical to OUTPut:STATe command (PAR. B.42) and is provided for compatibility with
other vendors products.
B.24 LIST:CURRent COMMAND 
LIST:CURR
Syntax: Short Form: LIST:CURR[:LEV] Long Form: LIST:CURRent[:LEVel]
= digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Sets the current (Amps) value for the memory location selected by LIST:IND. If the value is out of
the acceptable current range for the power supply model, an error message: -222,”Data out of range”
is posted in the output queue. The current value is stored in non-volatile memory and is retained when
the power supply is turned off. Related Commands: LIST:IND. LIST:IND?, LIST:CURR?. (See exam-
ple, Figure B-4.)
B.25 [SOUR:]LIST:CURRent? QUERY
LIST:CURR?
Syntax: Short Form: LIST:CURR[:LEV]? Long Form: LIST:CURRent[:LEVel]?
Return Value: = digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E+1 for 27.1
Description: Returns current value (Amps) stored in indexed memory location selected by LIST:IND. Related
Commands: LIST:IND. LIST:IND?, LIST:CURR. (See example, Figure B-4.)
