6 RLC Swept SA Measurement Front-Panel & SCPI Reference
Single (Single Measurement/Sweep)
Single (Single Measurement/Sweep)
Sets the analyzer for Single measurement operation. The single/continuous state is Meas Global, so
the setting will affect all the measurements. If you are Paused, pressing Single does a Resume.

Backwards Compatibility
Notes For Spectrum Analysis mode in ESA and PSA, the Single hardkey and the INITiate:IMM switched
from continuous measurement to single measurement and restarted sweeps and averages
(displayed average count reset to 1), but did not restart Max Hold and Min Hold. In the X-Series,
the Single hardkey and the INITiate:IMM command initiate a sweep/ measurement/ average
sequence/hold sequence including MaxHold and MinHold.
For Spectrum Analysis mode in ESA and PSA, the Single hardkey restarted the sweep regardless
of whether or not you were in an active sweep or sweep sequence. In the X-Series, Restart does
this but Single only restarts the sweep or sweep sequence if you are in the idle state.
INIT[:IMM] in ESA & PSA Spectrum Analysis Mode does an implied ABORt. In some other PSA
Modes, INIT[:IMM] is ignored if not in the idle state. . The X-Series follows the ESA/PSA SA
Mode model, which may cause some Modes to have compatibility problems.

More Information
See "Restart" on page 999 for details on the INIT:IMMediate (Restart) function.
If you are already in single sweep, the INIT:CONT OFF command has no effect.
If you are already in Single Sweep, then pressing the Single key in the middle of a sweep does not
restart the sweep or sequence. Similarly, pressing the Single key does not restart the sweep or
sequence if the sweep is not in the idle state (for example, if you are taking a very slow sweep, or
the analyzer is waiting for a trigger). Instead, it results in a message. "Already in Single, press
Restart to initiate a new sweep or sequence". Even though pressing the Single key in the middle of
a sweep does not restart the sweep, sending INIT:IMMediate does reset it.
To take one more sweep without resetting the average count, increment the average count by 1, by
pressing the step up key while Average/Hold Number is the active function, or sending the
remote command CALC:AVER:TCON UP.
