Aborting a Measurement

You can interrupt a measurement from the Status window. If you abort a measurement while an internal system sweep is in progress, the measurement in IC-CAP is aborted, but the instrument continues to step through its sweep values until the sweep is completed. If another IC-CAP measurement using this instrument is attempted before the sweep is completed, IC-CAP waits until the sweep is done before performing the measurement.

To abort a measurement:

In the IC-CAP/Status window, click Interrupt IC-CAP Activity.

You can use the Tools menu in the Hardware Setup window to control some measurement activities. For example, you can stop an internal sweep by sending a command byte to instruments on the bus.

To stop an internal sweep:

1	Open the Hardware Setup window.

2	Select Tools > Send/Receive.

3	Select Send Byte.

4	In the dialog, enter the low-level GPIB command 4 to clear a single device or a 20 to clear all instruments.
