*TST?

*TST? causes the E1563A and E1564A Digitizers to execute an internal self-test and returns the number of the first failed test.

Comments *TST? Responses: A zero response indicates the self-test passed. Any non-zero response indicates the test failed. Input the failed test number into the TEST:ERR? <number> command. The returned values from this command will be the result code and a string. See Appendix C for information on interpreting the result code and string.

Comments Executable when initiated: NO

Coupled command: NO

Reset (*RST) condition: none

*WAI

*WAI causes the E1563A and E1564A Digitizers to wait for all pending operations to complete before executing any further commands.

Comments *WAI Operation: *WAI will not wait for all measurements to complete when an INIT command is executed to start measurements. *WAI considers INIT finished once it is processed, although the instrument may still be taking measurements. In this case, the instrument will move on to the next command following *WAI while measurements are being taken.

Executable when initiated: YES

Coupled command: NO

Related commands: *OPC, *OPC?

Reset (*RST) condition: none
