Section 7 Common Commands
7-16
∗WAI Wait - to - Continue Command
(Causes the next command to wait until the current command has been executed by the device)
■ Format
∗WAI
■ Application example
WRITE @108 : “∗WAI”
■ Explanation
The ∗WAI command executes overlap commands as sequential commands.
If the device can start executing the next command while processing a command
or query from the controller, the command or query is called an overlap com-
mand.
If a ∗WAI command is executed after an overlap command, the next command
must wait for the ∗WAIT common command to end. This also applies to sequen-
tial commands.
However, since the MS9710C does not support overlap commands. The ∗WAI
command counts for nothing.
