SCPI Example |
:SYST:PUP:PROC ! You must Wait after this command for the instrument application to restart |
Notes |
You cannot use *WAI or *OPC? to synchronize operation after a restart. This command stops and restarts the instrument application, thus the SCPI operation is terminated and restarted. A remote program must use a fixed wait time to resume sending commands to the instrument. The wait time will be dependent upon which applications are pre-loaded. |
