Syntax

*WAI

Description

This command waits for all pending operations to complete before executing any additional commands over the interface.

Remarks

• Function and range changes are considered pending operations. Therefore, *WAI will wait for these changes to complete.
• Because this command stops the command parser from operating, it is better to use *OPC? for synchronization purposes.

Examples

The following command waits until all pending operations complete.

INIT; *WAI; :ROUT:CLOS(@101)    ! Ensures that the scan started by the INIT finishes
                                ! before the ROUT:CLOS command is executed.
