Example: Aborting a
Measurement
(Trigger Source = BUS)
After the multimeter is configured it is placed in the wait-for-trigger state.
ABORt returns the multimeter to the idle state, and when *TRG is executed,
the “Trigger Ignored” message is stored in the error queue.
10 !Configure the scanning multimeter for DC voltage measurements on
20 !channels 100 through 104. Set the trigger source to BUS (system or
30 !group execute trigger). Place the multimeter in the wait-for trigger state.

Abort the measurement before the trigger is received.

Example: Aborting a
Measurement
(Trigger Source = HOLD)
Again, the multimeter is configured and placed in the wait-for-trigger state.
Aborting the measurement causes the subsequent single trigger (
TRIG) to be
ignored.
10 !Configure the scanning multimeter for DC voltage measurements on
20 !channels 100 through 104. Suspend triggering. Place the multimeter in
30 !the wait-for-trigger state.

Abort the measurement before the trigger is received.

Note If the multimeter is in the wait-for-trigger state and is waiting for an
external trigger (
TRIG:SOUR EXT), clearing the multimeter returns it to the
idle state. This is done by pressing the “Clear Instr” key on the HP
E1301A mainframe front panel when the multimeter instrument is selected.
Sending
CLEAR 70903 over the HP-IB also returns the multimeter to the
idle state.
