SCPI Command Reference
*OPC
*OPC
This command starts to monitor pending operations, and sets/clears the Operation
Complete (OPC) bit in the Standard Event Status Register as follows:
•
If there is no pending operation, sets the OPC bit to 1.
•
If there are any pending operations, sets the OPC bit to 0. The bit will be set to 1
again when all pending operations are completed.
So, *OPC command is required to enable the OPC bit. To stop monitoring pending
operations (disable OPC bit), execute the *CLS command.
