Syntax

Set or return the data acquisition mode for single or free-run measurements. If INITiate:CONTinuous is set to ON, the instrument immediately begins taking measurements (Modulated, CW and Statistical Modes), or arms its trigger and takes a measurement each time a trigger occurs (Pulse Mode). If set to OFF, the measurement will begin (or be armed) as soon as the INITiate command is issued, and will stop once the measurement criteria (averaging, filtering or sample count) has been satisfied. Note that INITiate:IMMediate and READ commands are invalid when INITiate:CONTinuous is set to ON; however, by convention this situation does not result in a SCPI error.
