ABORt
This command resets the measurement and transient trigger systems to the Idle state. Any output
transient or measurement that is in progress is immediately aborted. ABORt also cancels any lists or
pulses that may be in process.
ABORt also resets the WTG bit in the Operation Condition Status register (see Chapter 4 under
“Programming the Status Registers”). ABORt is executed at power turn-on and upon execution of *RCL,
RST, or any implied abort command (see List Subsystem).
NOTE: If INITiate:CONTinuous ON has been programmed, the trigger subsystem initiates itself
immediately after ABORt, thereby setting the WTG bit.

INITiate:SEQuence
INITiate:NAME
The INITiate commands control the initiation of both the transient generator and the measurement trigger
systems. They cause the trigger system to make a transition from the Idle state to the Waiting-for-Trigger
state. If the trigger system is not in the Idle state, the initiate commands are ignored.
INITiate:SEQuence and INITiate:NAME initiate the trigger systems to reference trigger sequences.
INITiate:SEQuence references a trigger sequence by its number, while INITiate:NAME references a
sequence by its name. The correspondence between sequence names and numbers is:
Sequence Number Sequence Number Description
1 (the default) TRANsient Step, pulse, or list transient trigger sequence
3 ACQuire Measurement acquire trigger sequence
