Command Reference

*STB? – Status Register Query

DESCRIPTION

The *STB? query reads the contents of the 488.1 defined status register (STB), and
the Master Summary Status (MSS). The response represents the values of bits 0 to
5 and 7 of the Status Byte register and the MSS summary message.

The response to a *STB? query is identical to the response of a serial poll except
that the MSS summary message appears in bit 6 in place of the RQS message.

*WAI – Wait Command

DESCRIPTION

The *WAI (WAIt to continue) command is required by the IEEE 488.2 standard but
has no effect on the WaveStation, as the signal generator only starts processing a
command when the previous command has been entirely executed.
