Example: Aborting a
Measurement
(Trigger Source = BUS)
After the multimeter is configured it is placed in the wait-for-trigger state.
ABORt
returns the multimeter to the idle state, and when
*TRG
is executed,
the “Trigger Ignored” message is stored in the error queue.

Example: Aborting a
Measurement
(Trigger Source = HOLD)
Again, the multimeter is configured and placed in the wait-for-trigger state.
Aborting the measurement causes the subsequent single trigger (
TRIG
) to be
ignored.

Note
If the multimeter is in the wait-for-trigger state and is waiting for an
external trigger (
TRIG:SOUR EXT
), clearing the multimeter returns it to the
idle state. This is done by pressing the “Clear Instr” key on the HP
E1301A mainframe front panel when the multimeter instrument is selected.
Sending
CLEAR 70903
over the HP-IB also returns the multimeter to the
idle state.
