Description This command combines all of the other signal oriented measurement
commands to perform a “one-shot” measurement and acquire the read-
ing.
When this command is sent, the following commands execute in the order
that they are presented.
:ABORt:CONFigure:<function>:READ?
When :ABORt is executed, if continuous initiation is disabled, the instru-
ment goes into the idle state. If continuous initiation is enabled, the oper-
ation re-starts at the beginning of the Trigger Model.
When :CONFigure is executed, the instrument goes into a “one-shot”
measurement mode. See :CONFigure for more details.
When :READ? is executed, its operations will then be performed. In gen-
eral, another :ABORt is performed, then an :INITiate, and finally a
FETCh? to acquire the reading. See :READ? for more details.
