The result of the tuning operation in +itself, however, will arrive asynchronously as an event (see +documentation for :ref:`FE_GET_EVENT` and +FrontendEvent.) If a new :ref:`FE_SET_FRONTEND` +operation is initiated before the previous one was completed, the +previous operation will be aborted in favor of the new one.
