*WAI WAIt for completion suffix

Classification: Direct processor control

Command Syntax: <command>; *WAI

Limits: <command>

FMTU, IMGU, ALLU, BOOT, INIT, or SCAL

Query Syntax: None

Description: Normally, the generator returns a prompt immediately after either an FMTU, IMGU, ALLU, BOOT, INIT, or SCAL command is received - even before these commands have finished executing. If the system controlling the generator must know when a command has finished executing, use a semicolon to append the suffix … ; * W A I. This causes the generator to wait until all processes have been completed before sending the > prompt.

Other Required Cmds: The *WAI command is used as a suffix with the FMTU, IMGU, ALLU, BOOT, INIT and SCAL commands.

XVSG	Video Signal Gating
Classification:	Format parameter setting
Command Syntax:	XVSG <red mode>, <green mode>, <blue mode>
Limits:	< mode>
	0 = OFF
	1 = ON
Description:	The XVSG command determines which video outputs are active
	when the format is selected. The same command controls both
	the analog and digital video outputs.

Other Required Cmds: The FMTU command instructs the generator to use the new setting. The ALLU command updates hardware to the new setting and redraws the test image.
