INITiate The INITiate command subsystem controls the initiation of the trigger system
for one or more trigger cycles. INITiate enables while ABORt disables the
trigger system. The TRIGger command subsystem controls the behavior of the
trigger system while it is enabled.
Subsystem Syntax INITiate
[:IMMediate]
[:IMMediate] INITiate:IMMediate changes the trigger system from the Idle state to the Wait
For Trigger state.
Comments • If TRIGger:SOURce is IMMediate, the Pacer starts. If TRIG:SOURce is
BUS, EXT, or HOLD, the Pacer will start when that trigger condition is
satisfied.
• Sending the ABORt command will reset the trigger system back to its
Idle state and terminate any pacer pulse train in progress.
• Sending INIT while the system is still in the Wait for Trigger state
(already INITiated) will cause an error -213,"Init ignored".
• Related Commands: ABORt, TRIGger
• *RST Condition: Trigger system is in the Idle state.
