Remote Commands in the Receiver Application

To prevent overlapping execution of the subsequent command before the measure-
ment has been aborted successfully, use the *OPC or *WAI command after ABORt and
before the next command.
To abort a sequence of measurements by the Sequencer, use the INITiate:
SEQuencer:ABORt command.
Note on blocked remote control programs:
If a sequential command cannot be completed, for example because a triggered sweep
never receives a trigger, the remote control program will never finish. The remote chan-
nel to the R&S ESW is blocked for further commands. In this case, you must interrupt
processing on the remote channel first to abort the measurement.
To do so, send a "Device Clear" command from the control instrument to the
R&S ESW on a parallel channel to clear all currently active remote channels. Depend-
ing on the used interface and protocol, send the following commands:
●
Visa: viClear()
●
GPIB: ibclr()
●
RSIB: RSDLLibclr()
Now you can send the ABORt command on the remote channel that runs the measure-
ment.
Example:
ABOR;INIT:IMM
Aborts the measurement and restarts it.
Usage: Event
HOLD
This command interrupts (holds) a scan.
To resume the scan, use INITiate<mt>[:IMMediate] on page 442.
Example:
HOLD
Interrupts the scan.
Usage: Event
INITiate<mt>:CONMeas
This command resumes a scan that was interrupted by a transducer stop at the current
receiver frequency.
If the scan was interrupted by the HOLD command, you have to resume it with
INITiate<mt>[:IMMediate].
Suffix:
<mt>
.
INITiate1 is irrelevant.
INITiate2 resumes the scan.
