:INITiate[:IMMediate]
Description
This command changes the trigger state from IDLE to Waiting for Trigger if the trigger is actually in the IDLE state. The trigger system completes one full cycle and returns to the IDLE state after completion. If the trigger is NOT in the IDLE state or the Continuous Initiation Mode is activated, this command has no effect on the trigger state, but an Init Ignored - error (code: -213) is generated.
For more information about the trigger system, please refer to Trigger System.
