Syntax *OPC
Denition The instrument parses and executes all program message units
in the input queue and sets the operation complete bit in the
standard event status register (ESR). This command can be used
to avoid lling the input queue before the previous commands
have nished executing.

interpreting the command and putting the '1' in the queue.
