Specifies which TSP-Link group on which to wait
Details
There are two types of instrument commands:
• Overlapped commands: Commands that allow the execution of subsequent commands while
instrument operations of the overlapped command are still in progress.
• Sequential commands: Commands whose operations must finish before the next command is
executed.
The waitcomplete() command suspends the execution of commands until the instrument
operations of all previous overlapped commands are finished. This command is not needed for
sequential commands.
Presently, the Series 3700A has no overlapped commands implemented. However, other
TSP-enabled products, such as the Series 2600B System SourceMeter
®
Instruments, have
overlapped commands. Therefore, when the Series 3700A is a TSP master to a subordinate device
with overlapped commands, use this function to wait until all overlapped operations are completed.
A group number may only be specified when this node is the master node.
If no group is specified, the local group is used.
If zero (0) is specified for the group, this function waits for all nodes in the system.
Any nodes that are not assigned to a group (group number is 0) are part of the master node's group.
Example 1
waitcomplete()
Waits for all nodes in the local group.
Example 2
waitcomplete(G)
Waits for all nodes in group G.
Example 3
waitcomplete(0)
Waits for all nodes on the TSP-Link network.
