TVS600 & TVS600A Command Reference
INITiate
ABORt
INITiate:COUNt
INITiate:COUNt?
Sets or queries the number of times to repeat the arm/trigger acquisition loop.
This command is most useful when the FDC is employed to transfer data.
For acquisition looping using FDC, you might set COUNt to a value of 10. The
instrument then cycles through ten arm/trigger loops, acquiring signals from all
active channels during each pass through the loop. The specified waveform
records and measurements are transferred at the end of each cycle. Upon
completion of the tenth loop the arm/trigger state machine returns to the idle
state. Without FDC, only the waveform record acquired on the last cycle and
measurements on it are available.
If you have defined a Fast Data Channel, setting COUNt to a value other than
one will cause the waveform analyzer to send multiple measurement results, one
for each acquisition.
