:ABORt Command
:ABORt Command
:ABORt
COMMAND
This command causes the Counter to abort, as quickly as possible, any
measurement in progress.
The :ABORt command is not complete until the current measurement is
stopped. The execution of an ABORt command sets false any Pending
Operation Flags that were set true by initiation of measuring.
• If :ABORt is issued while the measurement cycle is idle (:INIT:CONT
COMMENTS
OFF and pending operation flag is false), the command is ignored.
• If :ABORt is issued while a single measurement is in progress, the
measurement is aborted and the pending operation flag is set false.
• If :ABORt is issued while repetitive measurements are being made
(:INIT:CONT ON), the measurement in progress is aborted, and the
pending operation flag is set false. Then, a new measurement is
automatically initiated, and the pending operation flag is set true.
• If :ABORt is issued while a block of measurements, such as an
average, is in progress, the measurement block is aborted, and the
pending operation flag is set false.
• When a measurement or block of measurements is aborted, the
Measuring bit in the Operation Status Register is set false.
• Aborting a measurement in progress invalidates the result.
