INITiate[:IMMediate][:TRANsient]
The INITiate command controls the initiation of the transient generation or measurement
acquisition trigger system. They cause the trigger system to make a transition from the Idle
state to the Waiting-for-Trigger state. If the trigger system is not in the Idle state, the initiate
commands are ignored.
If both the transient generation and the measurement acquisition trigger systems are
initiated at the same time, the first trigger event that occurs will trigger the measurement
system. The transient system will trigger on the next trigger event. Thus, the measurement
system has a higher trigger priority than the transient system. If the measurement trigger is
generated by a transient event, the acquisition system should be initiated first so it is waiting
for the trigger caused by the transient system.

INITiate:ACQuire [Pi Controller Only]
The INITiate:ACQuire command controls the initiation of the measurements trigger system.
They cause the trigger system to make a measurement from the Idle state to the Waiting-for-
Trigger state. If the trigger system is not in the Idle state, the initiate commands are ignored.
Command Syntax INITiate:ACQuire
Parameters None
Examples INIT:ACQ

ABOR INIT:CONT *TRIG
INITiate:CONTinuous
These commands control the transient generator trigger system.
• 1 or ON continuously initiates the transient trigger system.
• 0 or OFF turns off continuous triggering. In this state, the trigger system must be initiated
for each triggered event using INITiate:TRANsient.
