Using VXI-11, each operation is blocked until a VXI-11 device handshake
returns. However, using HiSLIP, data is sent to the device using the "fire
and forget" method with immediate return. Thus, a successful return of a
VISA operation such as
viWrite()
does not guarantee that the instru-
ment has finished or started the requested command, but is delivered to the
TCP/IP buffers.
