Function:
INIT:CONT ON Enables continuous triggers.
INIT:CONT OFFDisables continuous triggers.
Description:
This command enables/disables triggers. *TRG commands complete the sequence. Once INIT:CONT
ON enables continuous triggers, subsequent *TRG commands return the power supply output to the
commanded values of voltage and current established by the VOLT:TRIG and CURR:TRIG com-
mands until INIT:CONT OFF is received.
Example:
VOLT 21; CURR 5
Power supply output commanded to go to 21V, 5A
INIT:CONT ON
Continuous triggers enabled.
VOLT:TRIG 15;CURR:TRIG 3
Power supply output programmed to return to 15V, 3A upon
receipt of trigger.
*TRG
Upon receipt of *TRG command power supply output returns
to 15V, 3A.
VOLT 17; CURR 2
Power supply output commanded to go to 17V, 2A
*TRG

“1” = continuous triggers are enabled (INIT:CONT ON)
“0” = continuous triggers disabled (INIT:CONT OFF)
Description:
Power supply returns value of INIT:CONT flag to controller
Example:
VOLT 21; CURR 5
Power supply output commanded to go to 21V, 5A
INIT:CONT ON
Continuous triggers enabled.
VOLT:TRIG 15;CURR:TRIG 3
Power supply programmed to return to 15V, 3A upon
receipt of *TRG trigger.
*TRG
Power supply returns to 15V, 3A.
