A command that instructs a system, device, or process to enter a standby or idle state while remaining ready for activation.
緊急時には、直ちに待機命令を実行してください。
In case of emergency, execute the standby command immediately.
このモードでは、デバイスは待機命令を待ち続けます。
In this mode, the device continuously awaits the standby command.
Commonly used in industrial control systems, robotics, and software applications to ensure safe shutdown or pause.
待機命令 (standby command) is different from 停止命令 (stop command). A standby command implies the system can resume quickly, while a stop command may require a full restart.
Always confirm whether 待機命令 refers to a technical command in a system or a metaphorical instruction in a non-technical context.
Composed of 待機 (taiki, 'standby' or 'waiting') and 命令 (meirei, 'command' or 'order'). The term emerged in Japanese technical contexts, particularly in automation and computing, where systems require explicit instructions to enter low-power or idle states.
This phrase is technical and primarily used in engineering, robotics, or software documentation. Avoid using it in casual conversation unless referring to specific technical contexts.
