The Instrument subsystem controls the instrument’s status. You can use it to end
a measurement or to make the instrument available for a measurement.

The following summarizes the INSTrument subsystem functionality:
INSTrument:ABORt
Places active instrument in the IDLE state, aborting any measurement or other
instrument activity in progress. The instrument configuration is unchanged and a
subsequent INIT command will cause the instrument to re-start the same type of
measurement. If the instrument is in Asynchronous mode, this command can be
sent while a query is in progress and the measurement will be aborted.
If the instrument is in Synchronous mode, this command will be queued while a
query is in progress. This is a ramification of the IEEE 488.2 Message Exchange
Protocol Enforcer (MEPE).
INSTrument:RESet
This command resets the currently selected instrument without affecting other
instruments. The instrument returns to its *RST state. The instrument remains
selected.
