3 Getting Started
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 35, “Status Reporting,” starting on page
759 which explains how to check the status of the instrument.
