8.4 Performing Measurements

The following commands are necessary to perform measurements.

You can also perform a sequence of measurements using the Sequencer (see

"Multi-

ple Measurement Channels and Sequencer Function"

on page 9).

ABORt

This command aborts the measurement in the current measurement channel and
resets the trigger system.

To prevent overlapping execution of the subsequent command before the measure-
ment has been aborted successfully, use the

*OPC?

*WAI

command after

ABOR

and

before the next command.

For details see the "Remote Basics" chapter in the R&S

FSW User Manual.

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.
