Two types of device commands exist:
• 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 finish before the next command is
executed.
The *WAI command suspends the execution of subsequent commands until the instrument
operations of all previous overlapped commands are finished. The *WAI command is not needed for
sequential commands.
