Stopexperiment<CR>
Command Description
This command will stop the current action being performed by the
instrument.
The stopexperiment command will stop the experiment immediately.
This may halt the instrument pipettor in the midst of a motion. In this
case, the instrument will immediately enter a fault state and an
instrument reset will be required. In addition, the pipettor may not be
in motion but may have tips that contain fluid or are in a source or
target plate. In these cases, it may be possible to recover without
resetting by washing the tips. Regardless, an instrument reset is
recommended following the use of any stopexperiment command.
