How to execute a series command automatically

Yes. syringe can move very slow, and the instrument refuse to accept new command before it finish moving

There must be a command to read the status of the syringe?  But I'm not going to guess any more.  Speculation is fruitless at this point.

I just checked the manual

Yes. You are correct. there is a command to check the pump status.

I now need to think about how to add that command to my state machine vi so that I only send the next command when status is 1. probably use wait until ...

the attached is the manual. it is mentioned on page 3-32 or page 68

So you add a "check statuts" state.

Ater sending a "start pump" or "stop pump" command go to "check status" and check the status at regular intervals until the status is 1
