Meas Control 13
Agilent N8201A Performance Downconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 26.5 GHz 229
Measure
Switches the N8201A between triggering the current measurement/sweep continuously or
triggering a single measurement. The front panel Single key also puts the N8201A in
single-measurement mode.
Key Path: Meas Control
State Saved: Save
Factory Preset: Continuous
Remote Command:
Use :INITiate:CONTinuous OFF|ON. See “" on page 459.
Remote Command Notes:
This command affects sweeping when in the SA mode. It affects measurements when a
measurement has been selected from the MEASure command subsystem.
• When ON, at the completion of each trigger cycle, the trigger system immediately
initiates another trigger cycle.
• When OFF, the trigger system remains in an “idle” state until CONTinuous is set to ON
or an :INITiate[:IMMediate] command is received. On receiving the
:INITiate[:IMMediate] command, it will go through a single trigger cycle, and then return
to the “idle” state.
• The query INIT:CONT? returns 1 or 0. 1 is returned when the instrument is continuous
triggering. 0 is returned when it is single triggering.
Example:
INIT:CONT OFF
