' WAVEFORM_DATA - Get waveform data from oscilloscope. To
' obtain waveform data, you must specify the WAVEFORM
' parameters for the waveform data prior to sending the
' ":WAVEFORM:DATA?" query.
'
' Once these parameters have been sent, the
' ":WAVEFORM:PREAMBLE?" query provides information concerning
' the vertical and horizontal scaling of the waveform data.
'
' With the preamble information you can then use the
' ":WAVEFORM:DATA?" query and read the data block in the
' correct format.
' WAVE_FORMAT - Sets the data transmission mode for waveform
' data output. This command controls how the data is
' formatted when sent from the oscilloscope and can be set
' to WORD or BYTE format.
' Set waveform format to BYTE.
myScope.DoCommand(":WAVeform:FORMat BYTE")
' WAVE_POINTS - Sets the number of points to be transferred.
' The number of time points available is returned by the
' "ACQUIRE:POINTS?" query.
' fraction of the total time points available.
myScope.DoCommand(":WAVeform:POINts 1000")
' GET_PREAMBLE - The preamble contains all of the current
' WAVEFORM settings returned in the form <preamble block><NL>
' where the <preamble block> is:
' FORMAT : int16 - 0 = BYTE, 1 = WORD, 2 = ASCII.
' TYPE : int16 - 0 = NORMAL, 1 = PEAK DETECT,
'
' POINTS : int32 - number of data points transferred.
' COUNT : int32 - 1 and is always 1.
' XINCREMENT : float64 - time difference between data
'
' XORIGIN : float64 - always the first data point in
'
' XREFERENCE : int32 - specifies the data point associated
'
' YINCREMENT : float32 - voltage difference between data
