IEEE 488.2 Required Commands

*OPC

Description

The *OPC command makes synchronization

between the instrument and an external

controller possible. The *OPC command causes

the instrument to set bit 0 (Operation Complete)

in the Standard Event Status Register to the TRUE

(logic 1) state when the instrument completes all

pending operations. Detection of the Operation

Complete message can be accomplished by

continuous polling of the Standard Event Status

Register using the *ESR? common query

command. However, using a service request

eliminates the need to poll the Standard Event

Status Register thereby freeing the controller to

do other useful work.

Syntax
