Model 6517B Electrometer Reference Manual
Section 12: Common commands
6517B-901-01 Rev. C / August 2015
12-15
*TST? (self-test query)
This command runs the self-test and acquires the Result.
Details
This query command is used to perform a checksum test on ROM and places the coded result (0 or
1) in the output queue. When the Model 6517B is addressed to talk, the coded result is sent from the
output queue to the computer.
A returned value of zero (0) indicates that the test passed, and a value of one (1) indicates that the
test has failed.

None
*WAI (wait-to-continue)
This command prevents the execution of commands until all previous commands are completed.
Details
There are two types of device commands; Sequential commands and Overlapped commands. A
Sequential command is a command whose operations are allowed to finish before the next command
is executed. An Overlapped command is a command that allows the execution of subsequent
commands while device operations of the Overlapped command are still in progress. The
*WAI
command holds off 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.
The Overlapped commands in the Model 6517B are:
:INITiate
:INITiate:CONTinuous ON
*TRG
See
*OPC
,
*OPC?
, and
*TRG
for more information.
The
:INITiate
commands take the Model 6517B out of the idle state. The device operations of
:INITiate
are not considered complete until the Model 6517B goes back into idle mode. By
sending the
*WAI
command after the
:INITiate
command, all subsequent commands are not
executed until the Model 6517B goes back into idle mode.
The
*TRG
command issues a bus trigger which could be used to provide the arm, scan and measure
events for the trigger model. By sending the
*WAI
command after the
*TRG
command, subsequent
commands are not executed until the pointer for the trigger model has finished moving in response to
*TRG
and has settled at its next state.
