How to get an indicator when the Agilent E3136A is ready.

I need to know exactly when the Agilent E3136A (a tripple power aggregate) has made the changes i asks for. As it is now I can se a curve from the E3136A as it changes the output, I whant to get rid of this curve and maybe get a trigger signal from it when it is ready so I don't continue with my measuerements until the E3136A has made all changes on it's outputs.

I'm using labview.

I don't have a manual for this power supply so you might want to check in it to see whether anything in the status byte is set. When you say that you "se a curve from the E3136A as it changes the output", how are you viewing this curve? Is it the front panel meters or something else? There is a command to read what the meters are detecting.
