SCPI Command

TRIGger[:SEQuence]:WAIT <char>

Description

Delays the execution of the next command until the specified state of the analyzer trigger system is reached (see options below). When the Continuous initiation mode is turned OFF (INIT:CONT OFF), the trigger system transits between all of its three states: "Stop", "Waiting for a trigger" and "Measurement cycle". In this case, the HOLD parameter should be selected for the TRIG:WAIT command. When the Continuous initiation mode is turned ON (INIT:CONT ON), the trigger system transits between the "Waiting for Trigger" and "Measurement Cycle" states. In this case, the WTRG parameter should be selected. This command is useful for waiting for a sweep end initiated by the TRIG and TRG commands or initiated by the external trigger signal, because the OPC? command cannot be used. (The OPC? command can wait the sweep end initiated by the TRIG:SING command only). Note: The TRIG:WAIT command does not block the execution of the user program. To block the execution of a user program, use OPC? after the TRIG:WAIT command.

This command is useful for waiting for a sweep end initiated by the TRIG and *TRG commands or initiated by the external trigger signal, because the *OPC? command cannot be used. (The *OPC? command can wait the sweep end initiated by the TRIG:SING command only).

Note: The TRIG:WAIT command does not block the execution of the user program. To block the execution of a user program, use *OPC? after the TRIG:WAIT command.
