Always start your programs with the commands shown in the following listing. Use the *RST common command to initialize FlexDCA, FlexRT, or FlexPLL to a preset state. The :SYSTEM:AUTOSCALE command is very useful on unknown waveforms as it automatically sets up FlexDCA's vertical channel, time base, and trigger level. A typical instrument setup configures the vertical range and offset voltage, the horizontal range, delay time, delay reference, trigger mode, trigger level, and slope. Notice that the :SYSTem:DEFault and :SYSTem:AUToscale commands should be followed by an *OPC? common query.

• Try the example Python programs.

The following command snippet demonstrate starting lines of code for starting and ending your programs.
