ABORt command
Stops the current measurement in progress.
Command Syntax: ABORt
Example Statements: OUTPUT 711;"abor"
OUTPUT 711;"Abort"
Attribute Summary: Option: not applicable
Synchronization Required: no
Preset State: not applicable
SCPI Compliance: confirmed
Description:
This command aborts any measurement in progress and resets the trigger system. ABOR forces the
trigger system to an idle state. ABORt forces the Measuring bit (bit 4) and the Averaging bit (bit 8) of the
Operation Status register to 0. To restart a measurement you must send the INIT:IMM command.
The program message ABOR;:INIT:IMM serves a special synchronization function. When you send this
message to restart a measurement, the analyzer’s No Pending Operation (NPO) flag is set to 1 until the
measurement is complete. The two commands that test the state of this flag—*WAI and *OPC—allow
you to hold off subsequent actions until the measurement is complete. See chapter 3 of the GPIB
Programmer’s Guide for more information about synchronization.
Note When averaging is on ([SENSe:]AVERage[:STATe] ON) the NPO flag is not set to 1
until n measurements have been combined into one trace. You specify the value of
n
with the[SENSe:] AVER:COUNt command.
