Measure Reference Manual

Syntax
STOP [ MEASUREMENT ] data-file [ , NO ADD ]
[ , { TO | AT } [ end-date , ] end-time-of-day ]
MEASUREMENT
is optional if you specified MEASUREMENT as the default command object by using the
ASSUME command.
data-file
is an active measurement data file.
If data-file is a disk file and the NO ADD option is not specified, MEASCOM performs an
implicit ADD MEASUREMENT data-file, allowing you to examine the collected data (using
one of the LIST commands) without first explicitly entering an ADD MEASUREMENT command.
If data-file is a tape file, you must copy the file to a disk file before using MEASCOM to
examine the collected data.
NO ADD
prevents the implicit ADD MEASUREMENT data-file command from being performed when
the measurement stops. Use the NO ADD option when you want to stop a measurement but
do not want to look at the data file.
{ TO | AT } [ end-date , ] end-time-of-day ]
specifies the time the measurement is to stop. TO and AT are synonymous. If you omit the TO
or AT clause, MEASCOM stops the measurement immediately.
end-date
is the date the measurement is to stop, in one of these formats:
{ [d]d mmm[ yyyy] }
{ mmm [d]d[ yyyy] }
where
dd is a day of the month, a number in the range 1 through 31.
mmm is the first three letters of the month; for example: JAN, MAR, OCT.
yyyy is the year. Valid years are 1984 through 2047.
If you omit date, the current date is used.
end-time-of-day
is the time the measurement is to stop, in the format:
hh:mm[:ss]
where
hh is the hour (0 through 23).
mm is minutes (0 through 59).
ss is seconds (0 through 59).
If you omit end-time-of-day, MEASCOM stops the measurement immediately.
