Command Reference
WS
The WS command causes the E5260/E5270 to enter a wait state until the
E5260/E5270 receives an external trigger from the Ext Trig In terminal. To set the
trigger logic (initial value: negative), send the TGP command for the Ext Trig In
terminal.
To end a wait state before the trigger, execute the AB or *RST command.
Syntax
WS [ mode ]

mode : Waiting mode. Integer expression. 1 or 2.
