How to know whether an instrument has finished its action after receiving a command?

I'm new to this area. I'm trying to control multiple instruments from a single program. My trouble is that i don't know how to check if an instrument has finished it action. I tried to wait for gpibstatus flag (e.g. IO Complete, End), but it seems its only for communication level. When I want to generate a signal and capture it, it could take 1 or 2 seconds before instruments actually sending and receiving a signal for the first time. So is there a way to monitor this action or certain status bit to check when action is done?

 

Thank you
