When remotely controlling an oscilloscope with programming commands, it is
often necessary to know when the oscilloscope has finished the previous operation
and is ready for the next command. The most common example is when an
acquisition is started using the :DIGitize, :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.
