Common Commands
*WAI (Wait-to-Continue)
The *WAI command: This command is similar to the *OPC? query as it will also block the exe-
cution of the remote script until all pending operations are finished. It is particularly useful if
the host computer is connected to two or more instruments. This command will not block the
GPIB bus, allowing the computer to continue issuing commands to the instrument not exe-
cuting the *WAI command.
Example This example executes a single acquisition, and causes the instrument to wait until acquisi-
tion is complete before executing any additional commands.
