using a NIDCPower HW-timed sequence with SMU

[AJ3D]

Hello,

I'm just getting familiar with HW-timed sequences using NIDCPower to take measurements on a PXIe-4141 in order to avoid the overhead of using SW loops.

From what I understand, I need to do the following steps:

1. Set the sequence using the NIDCPower Set Sequence VI
2. Start the sequence using the NIDCPower Initiate VI
3. Wait for the SMU Sequence Engine to be done using the NIDCPower Wait For Event VI (event = Sequence Engine Done Event)

However, I would like to stop the HW sequence when a measurement threshold value has been reached (before the end of the sequence). Is it possible to create a trigger event that would stop the HW-sequence based on the measurement output? I know this can be done in SW by breaking out of a for loop, but I want to take advantage of HW-timed sequence approach.

Thanks!

I do not believe it's be possible to do the decision on HW level. The measurement should be fetched to do the comparison.
