Abort Segment
The abort segment provides a mechanism to skip
over or terminate other method segments when
specific weight change conditions are met. This
segment has the following format:
Abort next seg if <signal> <condition>
<value>
where:
<signal> is the real-time measurement used to
decide whether to abort or not (weight % or
weight %/minute)
<condition> is the limit condition for aborting
(“<“ or “>”)
<value> is the abort limit which is compared
with the real-time signal
example:
Abort next seg if % < 20.0
Abort segments execute immediately when
encountered in a method and simply establish
conditions for testing the next segment. The
specified limit, designated by the <signal>,
<condition> and <value> parameters, is tested
before and during the execution of the next
method segment. If the limit is reached at the
beginning of a segment, that segment is skipped
and method execution continues with the next
segment. If the segment following the abort
segment is equilibrate, initial temperature, ramp,

ramp, isothermal or step, and the limit
has not been reached yet, the limit will be tested
