Parameters
Comments Continuous Scanning Operation: Continuous scanning is enabled with

INITiate:IMMediate closes the first channel in the channel list. Each trigger
from the source specified by TRIGger:SOURce advances the scan through
the channel list. A trigger at the end of the channel list closes the first
channel in the channel list and the scan cycle repeats.
Noncontinuous Scanning Operation: Noncontinuous scanning is enabled
with INITiate:CONTinuous OFF or INITiate:CONTinuous 0. Sending
INITiate:IMMediate closes the first channel in the channel list. Each trigger
from the source specified by TRIGger:SOURce advances the scan through
the channel list. At the end of the scanning cycle, the last channel in the
channel list is opened.
