' This function prepares the scope for data acquisition and then
' uses the DIGITIZE MACRO to capture some data.
Private Shared Sub Capture()
' AQUIRE_TYPE - Sets the acquisition mode. There are three
' acquisition types NORMAL, PEAK, or AVERAGE.
myScope.DoCommand(":ACQuire:TYPE NORMal")
' AQUIRE_COMPLETE - Specifies the minimum completion criteria
' for an acquisition. The parameter determines the percentage
' of time buckets needed to be "full" before an acquisition is
' considered to be complete.
myScope.DoCommand(":ACQuire:COMPlete 100")
' DIGITIZE - Used to acquire the waveform data for transfer
' over the interface. Sending this command causes an
' acquisition to take place with the resulting data being
' placed in the buffer.
' NOTE! The use of the DIGITIZE command is highly recommended
' as it will ensure that sufficient data is available for
' measurement. Keep in mind when the oscilloscope is running,
' 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.
myScope.DoCommand(":DIGitize CHANnel1")

' 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.
Private Shared Sub Analyze()
' Results array.
Dim ResultsArray As Byte()
' Number of bytes returned from instrument.
Dim nBytes As Integer
' SAVE_SYSTEM_SETUP - The :SYSTem:SETup? query returns a
' program message that contains the current state of the
' instrument. Its format is a definite-length binary block,
' for example,
' #800002204<setup string><NL>
' where the setup string is 2204 bytes in length.
