strResults() = myScope.ReadList(ASCIIType_BSTR)
MsgBox "Timebase range: " + strResults(0) + ", delay: " + strResults(1)
To read the :TIMebase:RANGe?;DELay? query result into multiple numeric
variables, you could use the ReadList method to read the query results into a
variant array variable using the commands:
myScope.WriteString ":TIMebase:RANGe?;DELay?"
Dim varResults() As Variant
varResults() = myScope.ReadList
MsgBox "Timebase range: " + FormatNumber(varResults(0) * 1000, 4) + _
" ms, delay: " + FormatNumber(varResults(1) * 1000000, 4) + " us"
Checking Instrument Status
Status registers track the current status of the instrument. By checking the
instrument status, you can find out whether an operation has been completed,
whether the instrument is receiving triggers, and more.
For more information, see Chapter 39, “Status Reporting,” starting on page 1241
which explains how to check the status of the instrument.
