Query Syntax TST?

Returned Parameters <NR1>

*WAI

This command instructs the dc source not to process any further commands until all pending operations are completed. "Pending operations" are as defined under the *OPC command. *WAI can be aborted only by sending the dc source an GPIB DCL (Device Clear) command.
