Appendix B: Common Commands Series 2600A System SourceMeter® Instruments Reference Manual
*RST: reset
Return SourceMeter instrument to defaults
When the *RST command is sent, the Series 2600A returns to the default conditions.
*TRG: trigger
Send remote trigger to SourceMeter instrument
Use the *TRG command to issue a GPIB, LAN, or RS-232 trigger to the SourceMeter instrument.
It has the same effect as a group execute trigger (GET).
*TST?: self-test query
Return 0
This command always places a 0 in the Output Queue. It is included for common command
compatibility, but the Series 2600A does not actually perform a self-test.
*WAI: wait-to-continue
Wait until commands are completed
Two types of device commands exist:
• Sequential command: A command whose operations are allowed to finish before the next
command is executed.
• Overlapped command: A command that allows the execution of subsequent commands
while device operations of the overlapped command are still in progress.
The *WAI command is used to suspend the execution of subsequent commands until the device
operations of all previous overlapped commands are finished. The *WAI command is not needed
for sequential commands.
