When remotely controlling an oscilloscope with SCPI commands, it is often
necessary to know when the oscilloscope has finished the previous
operation and is ready for the next SCPI command. The most common
example is when an acquisition is started using the :DIG, :RUN, or
:SINGLE commands. Before a measurement result can be queried, the
acquisition must complete. Too often, fixed delays are used to accomplish
this wait, but fixed delays often use excessive time or the time may not be
long enough. A better solution is to use synchronous commands and status
to know when the oscilloscope is ready for the next request.
