commands suspend and resume subprogram execution, respectively.

since front panel utilities (e.g., up and down arrows) can inadvertently be
stored in the subprogram. Once you have executed the SUB command from
the front panel, the display shows SUB ENTRY MODE until the SUBEND
command is executed or the RESET key is pressed. The SUBEND command
does not appear in the front panel menu unless you are storing a subprogram.

command but does store the rest of the subprogram. Subprogram execution
will be aborted if the RESET command is encountered (do not store RESET in a
subprogram).
memory remaining.
Device Clear command is received. The GPIB Device Clear command will also
abort the process of storing a subprogram.
TRIG SGL command. When either of these commands is encountered, the
multimeter will not execute the next command in the subprogram until all
specified readings are taken. (This also means all configuration and other
triggering commands must occur before the TARM SGL or TRIG SGL
command.) Any other trigger arm or trigger events (except TARM EXT, see next
Remark) will be executed in a subprogram, but the readings will not be
initiated until the subprogram is complete.
multimeter waits until an external trigger is received on its Ext Trig connector
before executing the next line of the subprogram. This allows you to
synchronize subprogram execution to external equipment.
