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.
