Send SCPI sub-step settings
The send SCPI sub-step can be inserted into any measurement in the test sequence to
issue SCPI command(s) to a connected external instrument and to pause for a specified
delay time after the command(s) is issued. This sub-step is useful for setting up an external
instrument connected through a USB/GPIB interface before a measurement is performed.
