ABORt
The ABORt command stops a scan in progress when the scan is enabled
via the interface and the trigger source is TRIGger:SOURce BUS or
TRIGger:SOURce HOLD.
Subsystem Syntax ABORt
Comments ABORt Actions: The ABORt command terminates a scan in progress by
causing the switchbox to no longer wait for a trigger. When the ABORt
command is executed, the last channel switched during the scan
remains in the position.
Stopping Scan Enabled Via Interface: When a scan is enabled via an
interface, an interface clear command (CLEAR 7) can be used to stop the
scan. When the scan is enabled via the interface and TRIG:SOUR BUS
or HOLD is set, you can use ABORt to stop the scan.
Restarting a Scan: Use the INITiate command to restart the scan.
