disable

Usage

>> disable

Security

Open.

Description

If the instrument is logging, this command will terminate the current deployment. If the instrument is not logging when the command is issued, it will respond with a warning message but takes no other action; its state does not change.  When successful, the command reports:

• state, the state of the instrument is always reported when the command is complete (see also the Instrument command).

If the disable command is sent while a measurement is in progress, the measurement will be completed before logging is stopped. Consequently, depending on the channels installed in the logger and the sampling mode, the instrument’s response to the command may be delayed. If the instrument is sampling in any averaging or burst recording mode, the burst currently in progress will be interrupted and abandoned.

If the instrument is recording data to memory, a “stop event” will be appended to the data after the last sample stored.
Examples

>> instrument
<< instrument state=enabled

>> disable
<< disable state=disabled

The instrument was enabled, and has now been disabled.

>> instrument
<< instrument state=disabled

>> disable
<< WRN-435 instrument state is already disabled

The instrument had previously been disabled; its status has not changed.
