BNC 1105 Universal Counter - Manual (Page 125)

125 125 125 125
Return
A single ASCII-encoded byte. 0 means AUTO OFF and 1 means AUTO ON.
Note
This will be set back to AUTO OFF after *RST command.
:INITiate:CONTinuous
Sets or queries the enable for initiating measurements continuously.
When the CONTinuous is set to ON, the measurements are initiated continuously,
when the CONTinuous is set to OFF, the counter does not issue any
measurement until it receives :INITiate[:IMMediate] command or CONTinuous
is set to ON.
Return
A single ASCII-encoded byte. 0 means CONTinuous OFF and 1 means
CONTinuous ON.
Notes
This will be set back to CONTinuous OFF after *RST command.
When :INIT:CONT ON command is sent, the counter
o
Invalidates the statistics results,
o
Clears the current statistics count to 0,
o
Reports the negative status condition (NOT computing statistics) to bit 8
of Operation Status Register.
When :CALC2:LIM:CLE:AUTO is ON and whenever the counter
receives :INIT:CONT ON command, it :
o
Invalidates the limit data,
o
Clears the pass and fail counts (:CLAC2:LIM:FCO and :CALC2:LIM:PCO)
in the limit testing.
o
Sets the Limit-Detect output to the in-limit voltage level.
When [:SENSe]:EVEN:LEV[:ABS]:AUTO is ON and :INIT:CONT ON
command is sent, the counter issues an auto-trigger on the source channel
and at the beginning of each measurement cycle while :INIT CONT is ON.
The state of :TRIG:COUN:AUTO has no affect on the operation
of :INIT:CONT ON.
:INIT:CONT ON operates as if :TRIG:COUN was 1.
