Trigger subsystem
:CONTinuous? Query continuous initiation
Short-form format: :init:cont?
Response message: 1 (on) or 0 (off)
When continuous initiation is selected (ON), the instrument is taken out of the idle state. At the
conclusion of all programmed operations, the instrument will return to Arm Layer 1. This is an
overlapped command (see *OPC, *OPC?, *TRG and *WAI).
NOTE
In the event of a “Too many channels closed” error, all channels will open, the
instrument will go into idle, and continuous initiation will disable (:INI-
Tiate:CONTinuous OFF).
OUTPUT 707; “:init:cont on” ! Select continuous initiation
:ABORt
:ABORt Abort operation
:abor
When this action command is sent, the Model 7001 will abort its current operations and return
to the top of the Trigger Model (idle state). If the *OPC command has been sent, the OPC bit in
the Standard Event Status Register will set. If continuous initiation is disabled, the instrument
will go into the idle state. If continuous initiation is enabled, operation will continue on into Arm
Layer 1.
The abort command will reset the Source Bypasses of the Trigger Model and reset the scan
pointer back to the first channel in the scan list.
