"Busy?" command?

I'm using a Tektronix O-scope (4054). Apparently it takes alot of time for this o-scope to catch up with itself sometimes, so before I take measurements, I put a a small wait in front of the measurement function. well, apparently that's not enough anymore, so I considered using this "Busy?" function that I found in the Tektronix 4000 Series Programmer Manual. Supposedly it checks to see if the instrument is busy before it proceeds (or something to that effect). I was thinking of creating a Test_Busy() function in my CVI code for my o-scope instrument wrapper. The problem is I just don't really understand how to set that up. The programmer manual explanation was just a little confusing for me. If anyone has used this before, can you explain how to execute the "Busy?" function into a called function in CVI? My brain is dead and it's time to go home. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much.

Hey roxy

Try using this instrument driver which has CVI driver for that scope and run one of the example program, this might simplify the problem.
