The INITiate command is associated with the SETup SETup Subsystem and the FETCh? Subsystem .

One or more measurements can be initiated with the same program line (see Concurrent Measurements and the Programming Example below).

This command is also used to activate a measurement. See INITiate Programming Examples (how INIT commands are used) .

Function

Clears the done flag from all measurements.

Requirements

Test or Lab Application Revision A.01 and above.

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"INITiate:DONE:CLEar"
! Clears the done flag.

Function

Specifies that all measurements are either included or excluded when the INITitate:DONE? query is sent.

If a measurement trigger arm is left in continuous mode, the done flag for that measurement will toggle between DONE and WAIT. The INITiate:DONE? query will probably not be able to catch the measurement at the instant it is done; therefore, the measurement will never appear to be done. If a measurement's triggering must be continuously armed, you should exclude the measurement using INITiate:DONE:FLAG:<measurement mnemonic> .

Use INITitate:DONE:FLAG:ALL EXCLude to exclude all measurements.

Once INITiate:DONE:FLAG has been set to EXCLude for a measurement, the user must send the INCLude command for that measurement in order to query that measurement with the INITiate:DONE? query. The test set will not reset any excluded measurement with any type of preset.

Setting

Range: INCLude|EXCLude

Requirements

Test Application or Lab Application Revision A.01 and above.

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"INITiate:DONE:FLAG INCLude" 
! Includes all measurements in the INITIATE:DONE? query.

Function

Specifies if a measurement done flag is considered (using the INCLude or EXCLude settings) when the INITitate:DONE? query is sent.

If more than one measurement is active, and one or more measurement trigger arm states is continuous, the INITiate:DONE? query may not be effective. The best solution is to change the arm state of all measurements to single using the SETup:CONTinuous command. However, if a measurement must be continuously triggered, you should exclude the measurement using the EXCLude setting provided by this command if you want to use INITiate:DONE? to query measurement done status.

The test set will not reset any excluded measurement to included with any type of preset.

Setting

Range: INCLude|EXCLude
