462 Agilent N8201A Performance Downconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 26.5 GHz
23 Sweep
Sweep
Switches the N8201A between continuous-sweep and single-sweep mode. Pressing the
front-panel Single key will also put the N8201A in single-sweep mode, then take a sweep.
Key Path: Sweep
State Saved: Saved in Instrument State
Factory Preset: Continuous
Remote Command:
:INITiate:CONTinuous OFF|ON|0|1
:INITiate:CONTinuous?
:INITiate:[IMMediate]
Remote Command Notes:
This command affects sweep if not in a measurement, and affects trigger when in a
measurement. A “measurement” refers to any of the functions under the MEASURE key.
This corresponds to continuous sweep or single sweep operation when not in a
measurement, and continuous measurement or single measurement operation when in a
measurement.
When not in a measurement, this command does the following:
• When ON at the completion of each sweep cycle, the sweep system immediately
initiates another sweep cycle.
• When OFF, the sweep system remains in an “idle” state until CONTinuous is set to ON
or an :INITiate[:IMMediate] command is received. On receiving the
:INITiate[:IMMediate] command, it will go through a single sweep cycle, and then return
to the “idle” state.
• The query returns 1 or 0 into the output buffer. 1 is returned when there is continuous
sweeping. 0 is returned when there is only a single sweep.
When in a measurement, this command does the following:

:INITiate[:IMMediate] command, it will go through a single trigger cycle, and then return
to the “idle” state.
• The query returns 1 or 0 into the output buffer. 1 is returned when there is continuous
triggering. 0 is returned when there is only a single trigger.
