Self-test query: *TST?
Requests self-test results.
Places a zero (0) in the output queue
This command always places a zero (0) in the output queue. This command is included for common
command compatibility only; the 2600B does not actually perform a self-test.
Trigger: *TRG
Generates a command interface trigger event for the trigger model.
This command generates the trigger.EVENT_ID trigger event for the trigger model
The trigger.EVENT_ID is a constant that contains the command interface trigger event number.
You can set the stimulus of any trigger object to the value of this constant to have the trigger object
respond to the trigger events generated by this command. See trigger.EVENT_ID (on page 9-373)
and Using the remote trigger model (on page 4-3).
Wait-to-continue: *WAI
Suspends the execution of subsequent commands until all previous overlapped commands
are finished.
This pauses until overlapped commands are complete
Two types of device commands exist:
• Overlapped commands. Commands that allow the execution of subsequent commands while
instrument operations of the overlapped command are still in progress.
• Sequential commands. Commands whose operations finish before the next command
is executed.
The *WAI command suspends the execution of subsequent commands until the instrument
operations of all previous overlapped commands are finished. The *WAI command is not needed for
sequential commands.
