Description:
Use *WAI to hold off the processing of subsequent commands until all pending overlapped commands
have been completed.
Some commands are processed sequentially by the analyzer. A sequential command holds off the
processing of any subsequent commands until it has been completely processed. However, some
commands do not hold off the processing of subsequent commands; they are referred to as overlapped
commands. *WAI ensures that overlapped commands are completely processed before subsequent
commands (those sent after *WAI) are processed.
See “Synchronization” in the GPIB Programmer’s Guide for additional information about the use of
*WAI and overlapped commands.
