[:IMMediate] INITiate[:IMMediate] starts the scanning cycle and closes the first channel
in the channel list. Successive triggers from the source selected by the
TRIGger:SOURce command advances the scan through the channel list.
Comments • Starting the Scanning Cycle: The INITiate[:IMMediate] command
starts scanning by closing the first channel in the channel list. Each
trigger received advances the scan to the next channel in the channel
list. An invalid channel list definition generates an error (see
[ROUTe:]SCAN command).
• Stopping Scanning Cycles: See the ABORt command.
