72 Multimeter Command Reference Chapter 3
ABORt
The ABORt command subsystem removes the multimeter from the wait-for-trigger
state and places it in the idle state.
ABORt is only effective when the trigger source
is
TRIGger:SOURce BUS.
Subsystem Syntax ABORt
Example Aborting a Measurement
CONF:VOLT:DC
Function: DC voltage.
TRIG:SOUR BUS
Trigger source is BUS trigger.
INIT
Place multimeter in wait-for-trigger state.
ABOR
Abort waiting for a trigger and place
multimeter in idle state.
Comments • ABORt does not affect any other settings of the trigger system. When the
INITiate command is sent, the trigger system will respond as it did before
ABORt was executed.
• ABORt returns the multimeter to the idle state for TRIGger:SOURce BUS. The
“Trigger ignored” error is generated when a Group Execute Trigger (GET) bus
command or
*TRG common command is executed after an ABORt command
(which puts the multimeter into the idle state).
• Related Commands: INITiate, TRIGger
• *RST Condition: After a a *RST, the multimeter acts as though an ABORt has
occurred.
