USB Stick Synthesizer IEEE 488.2 Command Reference 15. *WAI The *WAI (WAIt)) command causes the AR2010 USB Stick Synthesizer to wait until either: ∙ All pending operations are complete ∙ The Device Clear command is received ∙ Power is cycled before executing any subsequent commands or queries. Syntax *WAI Applied Radar, Inc. Revision 2.0.
USB Stick Synthesizer IEEE 488.2 Command Reference 16. USBTMC/USB488 Universal Commands DCL The DCL (Device CLear) command causes all USB instruments to assume a cleared condition. The definition of Device Clear is unique for each instrument. For the AR2010 USB Stick Synthesizer: ∙ All pending operations are halted ∙ The parser (the software that interprets the programming codes) is reset and is waiting for the first character of a programming code. ∙ The output buffer is cleared.
