1 Power Meter Remote Operation
power meter has finished calibrating.
CAL:AUTO ONCE
*OPC?
MEAS:POW:AC?
This example GPIB program, in HP Basic, uses the *OPC command and
serial poll to determine when the power meter has finished calibrating.
The advantage to using this method over the *OPC? command is that the
computer can perform other operations while it is waiting for the power
meter to finish calibrating.
