Javascript - when a tracking call has completed?

Hello!
Does anyone know if there is a reliable way in javascript to detect whether the adobe analytics page tracking call (s.t()) has completed?  Currently, we are attempting to test for this via the below javascript (that tries to determine the state of the image beacon added to the page):
 
var pageViewComplete = function(){
    var pageViewPixel = window.s_i_scglobal;
    if (pageViewPixel && pageViewPixel.src && (pageViewPixel.src.indexOf('/b/ss/') >= 0) && pageViewPixel.complete){
      return true;
    }
    return false;
  };
 
We have noted that on occasion, the page view is recorded via an AJAX post to our adobe server vs the inclusion of the <img> tag, so the above code doesn't not always work.
 
Is there any Adobe supported way to test for this?
 
Thanks!

@pwolly-cr  - Have you considered s.registerPostTrackCallback?

    @yuhuisg The problem we are trying to solve is that the page calls on our site depend on an ajax call to complete before firing. The new platform we are integrating with requires a link tracker call to record its additional metrics, and this happens asynchronously (we can't control the timing of it - the trigger to it is nested in a callback from a script they load async). At certain times, the s.tl() call for the vendor metrics recording can precede the page tracking call (which corrupts the data in our direct traffic report). @brian_johnson_ In the idea you proposed, wouldn't registerPostTrackCallback also fire after the call to s.tl() in which case if that happens to go first, we'd still have this problem?
