Details
There are two types of instrument commands:
•
Overlapped commands:
Commands that allow the execution of subsequent commands while
instrument operations of the overlapped command are still in progress.
•
Sequential commands:
Commands whose operations must finish before the next command is
executed.
The
*WAI
command suspends the execution of commands until the instrument operations of all
previous overlapped commands are finished. The
*WAI
command is not needed for sequential
commands. Typically, this command is sent after the initiate trigger model command.
