IEEE 488.2 Required Commands
*OPC?
Description The *OPC? query makes possible the
synchronization between the instrument and an
external controller by reading the Output Queue
or by waiting for a service request on the
Message Available (MAV) bit in the Status Byte
Register. The *OPC? query causes the instrument
to place an ASCII character, 1, into its Output
Queue when the device completes all pending
operations. A consequence of this action is that
the MAV bit in the Status Byte Register is set to
state 1.

operations have been completed.
