Stopping a session

Stopping a session

You can stop the session manually or with a trigger command, but only when the instrument is in the Pause state. When the session is stopped, the Stop icon , appears in the Status Area and the RunTime clock is zeroed. For information about using triggers, see “Digital Outputs/Triggers” on page 50. Stopping a session is sometimes referred to as “closing the session.” Conversely, a session is often described as “open” when the instrument is either in a run or pause state.

Stopping and pausing

A manual session stop is a little different from a study pause. To pause a

study, , you simply press the Run/Pause key and the command is immediately executed. To stop a session, , however, you need to press and hold the Stop key.

If you don’t press and hold the stop key for the 3-second countdown period, the stop command is ignored and the session remains open. If you hold throughout the countdown, the following events occur in proper sequence.
