The beginning of the first measurement caused by setting :INIT:CONT ON

sets the pending Operation Flag to true. The pending Operation Flag is set to

false by aborting of a measurement, or by the completion of the last

measurement after :INIT:CONT is set to OFF.

When the measurements are being made continuously, :ABORt command

will terminate the measurement in progress, but does not change the value

of :INIT:CONT. If :INIT:CONT is set to ON prior to :ABORt, it remains ON and

a new measurement is initiated.

When a single measurement is in progress (:INIT:CONT is OFF):

Error -213 (Init ignored) is generated and the state if INIT:CONT is

unaffected by :INIT:CONT ON.

Error -210 (Trigger error) is generated by :INIT:CONT OFF.

The :INIT:CONT will be set to ON after the counter has been turned off, but

set to OFF after *RST command.

:INITiate[:IMMediate]

Instructs the counter to initiate a single measurement or a specified number of

measurements.

The counter will initiate one single measurement when

:TRIG:COUN:AUTO is OFF

:CALC3:AVER[:STAT] is OFF

[:SENS]:FUNC[:ON] is Totalize

[:SENS]:FUNC[:ON] is any Voltage Peaks.

The counter will initiate a complete block of measurements when

:TRIG:COUN:AUTO is ON

And

:CALC3:AVER[:STAT] is ON

And

[:SENS]:FUNC[:ON] is not Totalize or Voltage Peaks.

See :TRIG:COUN:AUTO for specifics.

Notes

counter clears the statistics results and the current count when it
