SCPI Command Reference
This section describes the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) commands for the Microwave Switch modules. Commands are listed alphabetically by subsystem and also within each subsystem.
ABORt
The ABORt subsystem stops a scan in progress when the scan is enabled via the interface, and the trigger modes are TRIGger:SOURce BUS or TRIGger:SOURce HOLD.
Subsystem Syntax | ABORt |
Comments ∙ ABORt Operation invalidates the current channel list and sets ARM:COUNt 1 (one scanning cycle per INITiate command), sets INITiate CONTinuous OFF (no continuous scanning cycles), and sets TRIGger:SOURce IMMediate (continuous internal triggering).
∙Stopping Scans Enabled from Interface: When a scan is enabled from the interface, use an interface CLEAR command or the HP E1301 front panel "Reset Instr" or "Clear Instr" key to stop the scan.
When the scan is enabled from the interface and the trigger source is
TRIGger:SOURce BUS or TRIGger:SOURce HOLD, use ABORt or the HP E1301 front panel "Reset Instr" or "Clear Instr" keys to stop the scan.
∙Stopping Scans Enabled from Front Panel: When a scan is enabled from the HP E1301 front panel, execute *RST over the interface or the front panel "Reset Instr" or "Clear Instr" keys to stop the scan.
∙Related Commands: ARM, INITiate:CONTinuous, [ROUTe:]SCAN, TRIGger
Example Stopping a Scan with ABORt
This example stops a (continuous) scan in progress.
TRIG:SOUR BUS | BUS is trigger source. |
INIT:CONT ON | Set continuous scanning. |
SCAN (@100:102) | Scan channels |
INIT | Starts scanning cycle, close |
| channel 00. |
ABOR | Aborts scan in progress. |
