• :WAIT
This specialized command can be appended to call processing overlapped commands to support
synchronization method two.
(See "Call Processing Subsystem Overlapped Command Synchronization Commands" on page
• :SEQ
This specialized command can be appended to call processing overlapped commands to support
synchronization method one.
(See "Call Processing Subsystem Overlapped Command Synchronization Commands" on page
• "INITiate:DONE?" on page 357
This specialized command causes the test set to return a mnemonic indicating if a measurement is done. If
not, the returned mnemonic will indicate if the measurement is still executing. This command supports
synchronization method three.
(See "INITiate:DONE?" on page
• STATUS:<register>
Status bits in the "STATus:OPERation:CALL:GSM Condition Register Bit Assignment" on page 446
register are provided to indicate the test set's call processing state. These bits support synchronization
methods five and six.
Status bits in the "STATus:OPERation:NMRReady:GSM Condition Register Bit Assignment" on page 451
register are provided to indicate when a measurement is ready to be fetched. These bits support
synchronization method three and six.
Many other status bits are provided in the GPIB status subsystem that are useful for synchronization.
See"STATus Subsystem Description" on page
• "SYSTem:SYNChronized" on page 496
This specialized command puts a 1 in the test set's output queue when the test set responds to the query by
sending a 1 to the external controller, all prior sequential commands have completed and all prior
overlapped commands have at least begun execution. This command supports synchronization method
four.
• "SYSTem:SYNChronized" on page 496
This specialized command causes a condition bit to be set then cleared when all prior sequential commands
have completed and all prior overlapped commands have at least begun execution. (See
"STATus:OPERation Condition Register Bit Assignment" on page
synchronization four and six.
• "*OPC" on page 497,
Note: These commands look at all of the test set's operations collectively. Because multiple processes are
likely to be executing at the same time, it is recommended that the other commands above be used instead.
