' WAVEFORM_DATA - To obtain waveform data, you must specify the
' WAVEFORM parameters for the waveform data prior to sending the
' ":WAVEFORM:DATA?" query.
' the waveform data and the preamble can be read.
'
' WAVE_SOURCE - Selects the channel to be used as the source for
' the waveform commands.
myScope.WriteString ":WAVEFORM:SOURCE CHAN1"
' WAVE_POINTS - Specifies the number of points to be transferred
' using the ":WAVEFORM:DATA?" query.
myScope.WriteString ":WAVEFORM:POINTS 1000"
' WAVE_FORMAT - Sets the data transmission mode for the waveform
' data output. This command controls whether data is formatted in
' a word or byte format when sent from the oscilloscope.

Dim intBytesPerData As Integer
' Data in range 0 to 65535.

' GET_PREAMBLE - The preamble block contains all of the current
' WAVEFORM settings.
' where <preamble_block> is:
' FORMAT : int16 - 0 = BYTE, 1 = WORD, 2 = ASCII.
' TYPE : int16 - 0 = NORMAL, 1 = PEAK DETECT, 2 = AVERAGE
' POINTS : int32 - number of data points transferred.
' COUNT : int32 - 1 and is always 1.
' XINCREMENT : float64 - time difference between data points.
