Utility and Control/Sweep Functions
Abort (Remote Command Only) 
Stops any sweep or measurement in progress and resets the sweep and trigger system. A 
measurement refers to any of the measurements found in the MEASURE menu.
Single
Enables single measurements. Pressing Single is equivalent to sending the remote 
command sequence:
INIT:CONT OFF
INIT:IMMediate
Therefore, 
Single turns Cont (continuous sweep) off. The current sweep will finish.
Remote Command [:SENSe]:SWEep:POINts <integer>
[:SENSe]:SWEep:POINts?
Example SWE:POIN 1001
Preset 401
Range 2 to 1001

Mode all
Remote Command :ABORt
Example ABOR
Notes If you are in single sweep/measure (INITiate:CONTinuous is 
off), then you must start another sweep (send 
INITiate:IMMediate). When the trigger conditions are met, a 
new measurement will start.
If you are in continuous sweep/measure 
(INITiate:CONTinuous is on), a new measurement begins as 
soon as the trigger conditions are met.
