Key Features
A few of the most important features of Status Reporting are listed in the
following paragraphs.
Operation Complete. The IEEE
488.2 structure provides one technique
which can be used to find out if any operation is
ftihed.
The *OPC
command, when sent to the instrument after the operation of interest, will
set the OPC bit in the Standard Event Status Register. If the OPC bit and
the RQS bit have been enabled a service request will be generated. The
commands which affect the OPC bit are the overlapped commands.
