Aborting a Profile

SCAMP acquires profile information according to conditions set at the Mission tab of the SCAMP Control Dialog.  Once activated by the magnetic switch, SCAMP will begin evaluating start conditions until one or more become true.  Thereafter SCAMP will acquire the number of scans requested.     SCAMP will return to sleep (power conservation) mode only after all scans are acquired.

Once triggered, SCAMP must complete its profile before it can be triggered again or enter sleep mode.

It may sometimes be necessary to abort a profile.  This may occur if too many scans are selected, or if unresonable starting conditions are specified.   The only method available to abort a SCAMP profile is to connect it to the USB port of the host computer.  Once SCAMP recognizes this connection it will abort the profile presently in operation, save any collected data, and begin responding to USB commands.
