ABORT
The ABORT command causes the Interface Clear (IFC) bus management line to
be asserted for at least 500 microseconds. By asserting IFC, the Analyzer488 regains
control of the bus even if one of the devices has locked it up during a data transfer.
ABORT
forces all IEEE 488 bus device interfaces into a quiescent idle state.
This command does not have a query option.
