Description of Subsystem Commands
Figure 3-2 is a tree diagram of the subsystem commands. Commands followed by a question mark (?) take only the query
form. Except as noted in the syntax descriptions, all other commands take both the command and query form. The
commands are listed in alphabetical order and the commands within each subsystem are grouped alphabetically under the
subsystem.
ABOR
This command cancels any trigger actions presently in process. Pending trigger levels are reset equal to their corresponding
immediate values. ABOR also cancels any programmed lists that may be in process.
ABOR also resets the WTG bit in the Operation Condition Status register (see "Chapter 4 - Status Reporting"). If
INIT:CONT ON has been programmed, the trigger subsystem initiates itself immediately after ABORt, thereby setting
WTG. ABOR is executed at power turn on and upon execution of *RCL, RST, or any implied abort command (see List
Subsystem).
Command Syntax ABORt
