Name

Description

Abort

Terminates any measurement in progress and resets the state of the trigger system. Note that Abort will leave the measurement in a stopped condition with all current measurements cleared.

Clear

Clear display traces and all data buffers. Clears averaging filters to empty.

Initiate

Starts a single measurement cycle when INITiate:CONTinuous is set to OFF. In Modulated Mode, the measurement will complete once the power has been integrated for the full FILTer time. In Pulse Mode, enough trace sweeps must be triggered to satisfy the AVERaging setting. In Statistical Mode, acquisition stops once the terminal condition(s) are met. In each case, no reading will be returned until the measurement is complete. This command is not valid when INITiate:CONTinuous is ON, however, by convention this situation does not result in a SCPI error

Status

Returns whether an acquisition is in progress, complete, or if the status is unknown.
