Ctrl Command stop_trigger
Function
resets (to Busy= 0) a measurement session's status that can be queried via
measurement_status.
Call
stop_trigger()
Comments
• This command is only needed if a measurement session was started via
set_trigger4, but not subsequently terminated via set_trigger(Period = 0) or
set_trigger4(Period = 0). Here, you can reset the measurement session's status even
when no list is active (see

Comments
• store_encoder can be used, for instance, to determine the exact number of encoder
increments occurring within a specific list-processing period. Here, you could begin the
command list by storing the counts in buffer position 0 via store_encoder(0). At the
end of the command list, you could store the counts to buffer position 1 via
store_encoder(1) and subsequently retrieve the stored values via read_encoder.
• The used buffer is reserved exclusively for storing encoder values.
