 Network Analyzers using PXI software

The channel initiation mode determines whether the channel will be included in the measurement cycle when a trigger signal is detected.

The channel to which the function is applied must be preselected as active (See Selection of Active Trace/Channel ).

Channel Initiation Mode

[default]

The channel automatically transits to the Initiated state at the end of each measurement.

The channel is initiated once. At the end of the measurement, the channel goes into the Hold state.

Hold

The channel is idle and not updating.

To set the appropriate mode for all channels, use the following softkeys:

Stimulus > Trigger > Hold All Channels
