To prevent overlapping execution of the subsequent command before the measure-
ment has been aborted successfully, use the
*OPC?
or
*WAI
command after
ABOR
and
before the next command.
For details see
chapter 10.1.6.1, "Preventing Overlapping Execution"
For details see the "Remote Basics" chapter in the R&S
FSW User Manual.
To abort a sequence of measurements by the Sequencer, use the
Note on blocked remote control programs
:
If a sequential command cannot be completed, for example because a triggered sweep
never receives a trigger, the remote control program will never finish and the remote
channel to the R&S
FSW is blocked for further commands. In this case, you must inter-
rupt processing on the remote channel first in order to abort the measurement.
To do so, send a "Device Clear" command from the control instrument to the
R&S
FSW on a parallel channel to clear all currently active remote channels. Depend-
ing on the used interface and protocol, send the following commands:
●
Visa
:
viClear()
●
GPIB
:
ibclr()
●
RSIB
:
RSDLLibclr()
Now you can send the
ABORt
command on the remote channel performing the mea-
surement.
Example:
ABOR;:INIT:IMM
Aborts the current measurement and immediately starts a new
one.
Example:
ABOR;*WAI
INIT:IMM
Aborts the current measurement and starts a new one once
abortion has been completed.
Usage:
SCPI confirmed
INITiate:CONMeas
This command restarts a (single) measurement that has been stopped (using
INIT:CONT OFF
) or finished in single sweep mode.
The measurement is restarted at the beginning, not where the previous measurement
was stopped.
, this command does not reset traces in
maxhold, minhold or average mode. Therefore it can be used to continue measure-
ments using maxhold or averaging functions.
