Programming Commands

Common Commands

	*OPC
	The *OPC (operation complete) command sets the operation complete
	bit in the event status register when all pending device operations
	have finished.
Syntax	*OPC
	*OPC?
Description	The *OPC? query places an ASCII “1” in the output queue when all
	pending device operations have finished.
	This command is useful when the computer is sending commands to
	other instruments. The computer can poll the event status register to
	check when the Agilent 86120C has completed the operation. Use the
	*OPC? query to ensure all operations have completed before continuing
	the program. By following a command with an *OPC? query and an
	ENTER statement, the program will pause until the response (ASCII
	“1”) is returned by the instrument.
	Be sure the computer’s timeout limit is at least two seconds, since
	some of the Agilent 86120C commands take approximately one second
	to complete.
Query Response	1
Example	OUTPUT 720;”*OPC?”
