Stopping a session
Models SE and DL
Stopping a session
You can stop the session manually or with a trigger command, but only when
the instrument is in the Pause state. When the session is stopped, the Stop
icon , appears in the Status Area and the RunTime clock is zeroed. For
information about using triggers, see “Digital Outputs/Triggers” on page 50.
Stopping a session is sometimes referred to as “closing the session.”
Conversely, a session is often described as “open” when the instrument is
either in a run or pause state.
Stopping and pausing
A manual session stop is a little different from a study pause. To pause a
study, , you simply press the Run/Pause key and the command is immediately
executed. To stop a session, , however, you need to press and hold the Stop
key.
If you don’t press and hold the stop key for the 3-second countdown period, the
stop command is ignored and the session remains open. If you hold throughout
the countdown, the following events occur in proper sequence.
