Abort and retrigger selected acquisition ( Ctrl-a )
Keep and retrigger selected acquisition ( Ctrl-k )
Like Acquire → Stop/repeat acquisition ( Space ) , these commands are normally accessed
via their respective keyboard shortcuts. Often used when you accidentally disturb the
equipment or remember an omitted step in the measurement procedure,
Ctrl-a will
restart the selected plot’s measurement immediately with no further interaction. Ctrl-k
behaves similarly, but it will not discard the acquired data before relaunching the
acquisition.
These commands operate as follows:
• If no plots are loaded, either command will bring back the most-recently-used
acquisition dialog, as if the
Space bar shortcut were used.
•
Otherwise, if the selected plot is associated with an acquisition in progress, that
acquisition will be terminated. (Any other acquisitions in progress will not be
affected.)
•
If the Abort ( Ctrl-a ) command was issued, the selected plot will be closed and its
data discarded. A new acquisition will be started in its place, using the driver
associated with the now-deleted plot. The new plot will retain the same
position in the legend table.
• If the Keep ( Ctrl-k ) command was issued, the selected plot will
not
be closed. A
new acquisition will be launched with its instrument driver. The resulting plot
will appear in the next available slot in the legend table.
When applied to an acquisition in progress,
both commands work immediately without
prompting for confirmation
if File→Warn before retriggering measurement in progress
is unchecked. They're assigned to control keys to make them harder to press
accidentally.
