The query yields
•
1
for
OFF
,
•
2
for
ON
.
Default setting:
OFF
INITiate:IMMediate
INITiate:IMMediate
starts a single measurement cycle. The power sensor module first changes from the
IDLE
state to the
WAIT_FOR_TRIGGER
state and begins with the measurement as soon as the trigger
condition is fulfilled. Once the measurement is completed, the sensor again enters the
IDLE
state.
Since the command is ignored during measurement, it normally has no effect in the continuous mode
(setting
INITiate:CONTinuous ON
).
TRIGger:COUNt[?] 1 to 2
×

This setting is designed for applications in which several consecutive measurements have to be
performed by sending the
INITiate:IMMediate
command only once, e.g. to obtain a higher measurement
speed. The gap between a single measurement and the continuous measurement mode is thus closed.
The number of measurements is defined with the parameter associated with the
TRIGger:COUNt
command. This number equals the number of results yielded by the power sensor module at the end of
the measurement.
The
TRIGger:COUNt
command does not define the number of trigger events required for
performing the entire measurement task. The number may vary depending on the
measurement mode.
A further increase in the measurement speed can be obtained by combining the mode
used with the buffered mode. The results are not made available immediately but as a
block at the end of the measurement sequence (see group commands
SENSe:POWer:AVG:BUFFer).
The query yields the number of measurements performed with the
INIT:IMMediate
command after a
measurement start.
Default setting:
1
TRIGger:DELay[?] 0 to 100.0
TRIGger:DELay
defines the delay (in seconds) between the occurrence of the trigger event and the
beginning of the measurement itself.
The query yields the set trigger delay (in seconds).
Default setting:
0.0 [s]
TRIGger:DELay:AUTO[?] OFF | ON
TRIGger:DELay:AUTO ON
ensures by means of an automatically determined delay that a
measurement is only started after the test result has settled. This is important when thermal power
sensor modules are used. The automatically determined delay is ignored if a longer period was set with
TRIGger:DELay
. This does not overwrite the value of
TRIGger:DELay
.
TRIGger:DELay:AUTO OFF
deactivates this function.
