# Method 3: Query the Operation Status Event Register with :OPER?
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# This method reads the Operation Status Event Register's Wait Trig
# bit (bit 5) using the :OPER? query.
#
# The Operation Status Event Register bits are cleared (0) when the
# register is read.
#
# Also, the Wait Trig bit does NOT go low (0) when the oscilloscope
# becomes unarmed by starting or stopping another acquisition (before
# the first one finishes) or by changing the time scale.
#
# The Wait Trig bit is cleared by a *CLS command, by reading the
# Operation Status Event Register with the :OPER? query, or by reading
# the Armed Event Register regsiter with the :AER? query.
# ====================================================================

# Stop the oscilloscope.

# Method 3: Initiate capture using :SINGle

# Because the :OPER? query will not work with :DIGitize (which is
# blocking), use the :SINGle command to start the acquisition.
