Abort
The :ABORt command is at the root level in the command hierachy but included with the Trigger
subsystem commands because of their close functional relationships. The ABORt command resets the
trigger system and places it in the IDLE state. Actions related to the trigger system that are in progress,
such as acquiring a measurement, will be aborted as quickly as possible.

Note: The INIT:CONT state is ignored when the Digitize function is active. In Digitize the INIT: layer is
permanently INIT:CONT OFF.

Description
Determines what happens when the triggering process enters
the Initiate layer.
CONTinuous ON causes the trigger system to exit the Initiate
layer on the downward path without entering the Idle state.
CONTinuous OFF causes the trigger system to enter the Idle
state.
Returns the state of INITiate:CONTinuous, 1 = ON, 0 = OFF
Sets Epoch start time. If Continuous is OFF at Epoch start time,
CONTinuous is set to ON
Returns the Epoch start time
Sets Epoch stop time. If Continuous is ON at Epoch stop time,
Continuous is set to OFF
Returns the Epoch Stop time
INITiate:IMMediate causes exit from the idle state. CONTinuous
state is not affected. Note that INITiate and INITiate:IMMediate
produce identical behaviour.
