Facilitates the synchronization and control of multi-module systems.

VXIplug&play Syntax

#include "age1439".h

	ViStatus age1439_wait(ViSession id);
	Description
	This function assures that all slave modules are completely set up before issuing measurement
	control commands to the master module. Prior to calling age1439_meas_control for the master
	module in multi-module systems, you should call age1439_wait for each other module within the
	related synchronous group to which you have previously sent commands.
	This function polls the status register of the indicated module until the AGE1439_STATUS_
	HARDWARE_SET and AGE1439_STATUS_SYNC_COMPLETE bits are both true, or until
	approximately three seconds have elapsed. The function returns AGE1439_SUCCESS
	immediately after the status bits are set, or, if the time-out limit is reached, AGE1439_STATUS_
	WAIT_TIMEOUT is returned.
	Parameters
id	is the VXI instrument session pointer returned by the age1439_init function.
	Return Value
	AGE1439_SUCCESS indicates that a function was successful.
	Values other than AGE1439_SUCCESS indicate an error condition or other important status
	condition. To determine the error message, pass the return value to “age1439_error_message” on
	page 102.
