*WAI

This command instructs the electronic load not to process any further commands until all pending
operations are completed. Pending operations are complete when:

Ϯ All

commands sent before *WAI have been executed. This includes overlapped

commands. Most commands are sequential and are completed before the next
command is executed. Overlapped commands are executed in parallel with other
commands. Commands that affect input voltage or state, relays, and trigger actions
are overlapped with subsequent commands sent to the electronic load. The *WAI
command prevents subsequent commands from being executed before any
overlapped commands have been completed.

Ϯ All

triggered

actions are completed and the trigger system returns to the Idle state.
