Abort Segment

TA I TGA 2950
NSTRUMENTS
The abort segment provides a mechanism to skip
over or terminate other method segments when
specific weight change conditions are met. This
segment has the following format:
Abort next seg if <signal> <condition>
<value>
where:
<signal> is the real-time measurement used to
decide whether to abort or not (weight % or
weight %/minute)
<condition> is the limit condition for aborting
("<" or ">")
<value> is the abort limit which is compared
with the real-time signal
example:
Abort next seg if % < 20.0
Abort segments execute immediately when
encountered in a method and simply establish
conditions for testing the next segment. The
specified limit, designated by the <signal>,
<condition> and <value> parameters, is tested
before and during the execution of the next
method segment. If the limit is reached at the
beginning of a segment, that segment is skipped
and method execution continues with the next
segment. If the segment following the abort
segment is equilibrate, initial temperature, ramp,
Hi-Res TM ramp, isothermal or step, and the limit
has not been reached yet, the limit will be tested
