ABORt
The ABORt subsystem stops a scan in progress when the scan is enabled and
the trigger modes are
TRIGger:SOURce BUS or TRIGger:SOURce HOLD.
Subsystem Syntax ABORt
Comments • ABORt Operation:
For relay strain gage multiplexers,
ABORT invalidates the current
channel list and sets
ARM:COUNT 1 (one scanning cycle per INITiate
command), sets INITiate:CONTinuous OFF (no continuous scanning),
and sets
TRIGger:SOURce IMMediate (continuous internal triggering).
For FET strain gage multiplexers,
ABORT resets the trigger system
and places the multiplexer in the idle state. The scanning parameters
remain as previously set. When a new trigger is received, the scan
begins at the beginning of the scan list.
• Stopping Scans Enabled from Interface: When a scan is enabled
from the HP-IB interface, use an interface
CLEAR command or the
HP E1301 front panel "Reset Instr" or "Clear Instr" key to stop the
scan.
When the scan is enabled from the HP-IB interface and the trigger
source is
TRIGger:SOURce BUS or TRIGger:SOURce HOLD, use
ABORt or the HP E1301 front panel "Reset Instr" or "Clear Instr"
keys to stop the scan.
• Stopping Scans Enabled from Front Panel: When a scan is
enabled from the HP E1301 front panel execute
*RST over the
interface or the front panel "Reset Instr" or "Clear Instr" keys to stop
the scan.
• Related Commands: ARM, INITiate:CONTinuous, [ROUTe:]SCAN,
TRIGger
Example Stopping a Scan with ABORt
TRIG:SOUR BUS Bus is trigger source.
INIT:CONT ON Set continuous scanning.
SCAN (@100:107) Sets channel list.
INIT Starts scanning cycle.
