4-4 Programming Guide

:ABORt Command

:ABORt

This command is an event that 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 OFF

and pending operation flag is false),

the command will be ignored.

• If :ABORt is issued while a single measurement is in progress

(:TRIG:COUN:AUTO OFF or :CALC3:AVER OFF,

:INIT:CONT OFF, and pending operation flag is true), the measurement will

be aborted and pending operation flag set false.

• If :ABORt is issued while repetitive measurement are being made

(:INIT:CONT ON), the current measurement in progress will be aborted and

the pending operation flag set false. Then, a new measurement will

automatically be initiated and the pending operation flag set true.

• If :ABORt is issued while a block of measurements is in progress

(:TRIG:COUN:AUTO ON and :CALC3:AVER ON,

:INIT:CONT OFF, and pending operation flag is true),

the measurement block will be aborted and the pending operation flag set

false.

• When a measurement or block of measurements is aborted, the Measuring bit

in the Operation Status Register will be set false.

• Aborting a measurement in progress invalidates the result,

with one exception. :ABORt is the appropriate way to terminate an

automatically armed Totalize measurement.
