12 Programming Examples
* communication with the computer interrupts data acquisition.
* Setting up the oscilloscope over the bus causes the data
* buffers to be cleared and internal hardware to be
* reconfigured.
* If a measurement is immediately requested there may not have
* been enough time for the data acquisition process to collect
* data and the results may not be accurate. An error value of
* 9.9E+37 may be returned over the bus in this situation.

* --------------------------------------------------------------
* In this example we will do the following:
* - Save the system setup to a file for restoration at a later
* time.
* - Save the oscilloscope display to a file which can be
* printed.
* - Make single channel measurements.
