I'm also using this instrument to get several points with a programmed
trigger. Normally, you have to enable service requests and have the device send
a service request when the operation is complete.
This is done by enabling the proper registers and appending the *OPC
command.

Then I don't know what would be the equivalent of the VISA WaitForEvent
function with the USBTMC interface.

But this is probably getting quite off-topic for the Octave list.
