Programming

Common Commands

*WAI (Wait) 

The *WAI command prevents the instrument from executing any further com-
mands until the current command has finished executing. All pending opera-
tions are completed during the wait period. 

Usage: 

HP-IB only 

Command Syntax: 

*WAI 

Example: 

OUTPUT 711;":ROUTE:LAYER1:CHANNEL A2,B4" 

OUTPUT 711;"*WAI" 

OUTPUT 711;"SYSTEM:CONFIG?" 

ENTER 711;DUMMY$ 

NOTE 

The *WAI command can be used to ensure all switch movement operations have com-
pleted before continuing the program. Following a ROUTE:LAYER:CHANNEL command 
with a *WAI command followed by a query, will ensure the query is not answered until 
the switch has settled to its new position.
