3. Configure the common vertical properties using the niScope Configure Vertical VI.
4. Configure the horizontal properties using the niScope Configure Horizontal Timing VI.
5. Commit all the parameter settings to hardware using the niScope Commit VI.
6. Short-circuit the channel 0 input of the device by connecting the calibrator test head directly
to the device and grounding the output of the calibrator.
