Abort (Remote Command Only)

This command is used to stop the current measurement. It aborts the current measurement as quickly as
possible, resets the sweep and trigger systems, and puts the measurement into an "idle" state. If the
analyzer is in the process of aligning when ABORt is sent, the alignment finishes before the abort
function is performed. So ABORt does not abort an alignment.
If the analyzer is set for Continuous measurement, it sets up the measurement and initiates a new data
measurement sequence with a new data acquisition (sweep) taken once the trigger condition is met.
If the analyzer is set for Single measurement, it remains in the "idle" state until an :INIT:IMM command
is received.

If :INITiate:CONTinuous is ON, then a new continuous measurement will
start immediately; with sweep (data acquisition) occurring once the trigger
condition has been met.
If :INITiate:CONTinuous is OFF, then :INITiate:IMMediate is used to start a
single measurement; with sweep (data acquisition) occurring once the trigger
condition has been met.
For continuous measurement, ABORt is equivalent to the Restart key.
Not all measurements support the abort command.
The STATus:OPERation register bits 0 through 8 are cleared.
The STATus:QUEStionable register bit 9 (INTegrity sum) is cleared.
Since all the bits that feed into OPC are cleared by the ABORt, the ABORt
will cause the *OPC query to return true.
