Programming Commands
Introduction
PROG:WAIT? query to indicate when the 70874C has paused. Then, retrieve
the response using the PROG:STR? query. Use PROG:STATe to continue pro-
gram execution. (Notice the lower case letter e in PROG:STATe. This indicates

OUTPUT Mta;"PROG:WAIT?"

OUTPUT Mta;"PROG:STR? ’Response’"
ENTER Mta;Response$
OUTPUT Mta;"PROG:STAT CONT"
