Halting an Output in Progress
You can send a device clear at any time to stop an output in progress
over the interface. The status registers, the error queue, and all
GPIB
configuration states are left unchanged when a device clear message is
received. Device clear performs the following actions:
œ The function generator's input and output buffers are cleared.
œ The function generator is prepared to accept a new command string.
œ The following statement shows how to send a device clear over the
interface:

following a device clear message. See "DTR/DSR Handshake Protocol,"
on page 198 for further details.
