:CONTinuous?
INITiate:CONTinuous? queries the scanning state. With continuous
scanning enabled, the command returns 1. With continuous scanning
disabled, the command returns 0.
Example Query Continuous Scanning State
This example enables continuous scanning of a switchbox and queries the
state. Since continuous scanning is enabled,
INIT:CONT? returns 1.
INIT:CONT ON ! Enable continuous scanning
INIT:CONT? ! Query continuous scanning state
[:IMMediate]
INITiate[:IMMediate] starts the scanning cycle and closes the first channel
in the channel list. Successive triggers from the source selected by the
TRIGger:SOURce command advances the scan through the channel list.
Comments
•
Starting the Scanning Cycle: The INITiate[:IMMediate] command
starts scanning by closing the first channel in the channel list. Each
trigger received advances the scan to the next channel in the channel
list. An invalid channel list definition generates an error (see
[ROUTe:]SCAN command).
•
Stopping Scanning Cycles: See the ABORt command.
Example Enabling a Single Scan
This example enables a single scan of channels 00 through 03 of a
single-module switchbox. The trigger source to advance the scan is
immediate (internal) triggering set with (default)
TRIGger:SOURce
IMMediate.
SCAN (@100:103) ! Scan channels 00-03
INIT ! Begin scan, close channel 00 (use
immediate triggering)
