Commands
The commands put the B1500 in the trigger wait state. The B1500 can recover from
the wait state if an external trigger is sent to a trigger input port. You can use the
commands regardless of the trigger type.
If you use the PA or PAX command to put the B1500 in the trigger wait state, send
the TM3 command before the PA or PAX command.
