Agilent E8462A Relay Multiplexer Command Reference 71
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.
