Example Program

This program demonstrates the basic command structure used to program
the oscilloscope.
' Initialize the instrument interface to a known state.
myScope.IO.Clear
myScope.IO.Timeout = 15000
' Initialize the instrument to a preset state.
myScope.WriteString "*RST"
' Set the time base mode to normal with the horizontal time at
' 50 ms/div with 0 s of delay referenced at the center of the
' graticule.
myScope.WriteString ":TIMebase:RANGe 5E-4"
myScope.WriteString ":TIMebase:DELay 0"
myScope.WriteString ":TIMebase:REFerence CENTer"
' Set the vertical range to 1.6 volts full scale with center screen
' at -0.4 volts with 10:1 probe attenuation and DC coupling.
myScope.WriteString ":CHANnel1:PROBe 1.0"
myScope.WriteString ":CHANnel1:RANGe 1.6"
myScope.WriteString ":CHANnel1:OFFSet -0.4"
myScope.WriteString ":CHANnel1:INPut DC"
' Configure the instrument to trigger at -0.4 volts with normal
