ABORt

ABORt

The ABORt command removes the HP E1429 from the wait-for-trigger state and places it in the idle state, irrespective of any other settings. Measurement is halted and can only be restarted by another INITiate[:IMMediate] command.

There is no query form of this command.

Comments ABORt does not affect any other settings of the HP E1429.

Both measurement channels are aborted with this command.

Local bus and VME bus data transfers are aborted.

The Pending Operation Flag (as defined by IEEE-488.2) will be set false as a consequence of entering the idle state. *OPC? will therefore return 1 after an ABORt command.

Executable when initiated: Yes

Coupled Command: No

If an ABORt or power failure occurs during a sequence of measurements, the digitizer will return (FETCh?) or recover (FETCh:RECover?) between one and TRIGger:STARt:COUNt number of readings. Because the digitizer processor does not know when the arm occurs, the readings returned may be pre-arm only, post-arm only, or a combination of both. If less than TRIGger:STARt:COUNt readings have been taken, then that number of readings are returned. If at least TRIGger:STARt:COUNt readings have been taken, then TRIGger:STARt:COUNt readings are returned.

Related Commands: INITiate, *OPC, *OPC?

*RST Condition: After a *RST, the HP E1429 is placed in the trigger idle state, as if ABORt had been executed.
