ABORt

Description

This command aborts a measurement in progress from a scan or internal DMM measurements.

Remarks

• For internal DMM measurements, this command may be useful when the sample count is greater than 1 (see SAMPle:COUNt command).

• When you abort a measurement, the instrument will terminate any reading in progress (readings are not cleared from memory). If a scan is in progress when the command is received, the scan will not be completed and you cannot resume the scan from where it left off. Note that if you initiate a new scan, all readings are cleared from memory.

• When a measurement is aborted, the readings remain in memory and can be read (see FETCh? command) until you clear them or initiate a new scan.

• The *RST command will abort a measurement, clear the scan list, and set all measurement parameters to their factory settings. The Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) also aborts a measurement but it does not clear the scan list.

Example

The following command aborts the measurement in progress.
