INITiate and ABORt Subsystems
TVS600 & TVS600A Command Reference
2–117
NOTE. Your waveform analyzer may not respond after receiving INIT:CONT. To
end acquisition and return control, send the VXIbus word serial command
<Abort Normal Operation> then INIT:CONT OFF.
When INIT:CONTinuous is set to ON and you send a self-synchronizing
command, such as a TRACe? query, the parser does not execute subsequent
commands until the current command (INIT:CONT) completes and an OPC
occurs. OPC cannot occur until INIT:CONT terminates. When a defined trigger
event or arm event does not occur, INIT:CONT does not terminate. Unless you
have sent a data query or other self-synchronizing command, you can recover
control by sending the *RST command.
When you send INIT:CONT, acquisition continues until the instrument receives
an *RST, or VXI word serial <Abort Normal Operation> or <End Normal
Operation> command and INIT:CONT OFF. The command *RST is effective
only when you have not sent a self-synchronizing command, such as TRACe?.
You can use the command ABORt to stop the current acquisition and automati-
cally restart continuous acquisition.
The setting for INIT:COUNt is ignored when INIT:CONTinuous is set to ON.

Setting INIT:CONTinuous to ON performs an implicit INITiate[:IMMediate]
and, if the Fast Data Channel is active, sends a continuous stream of measure-
ment results.
