Using "Getting Started" for the tek 3054 and don't want to reset the scope

[eltoro]

This is a library of code from NI, and it performs all the functions we want it to, but it also has the ability to control the instrument from the computer. We want to control from the scope and not have the settings constantly reset. If you've used this library, how did you do it?

If there's a better way to read waveform data from a scope, please explain that also.

[Dennis_Knutson]

If you just want to acquire the waveform and not control settings at all, use either the Read Waveform or Fetch Waveform functions. The Read Waveform is one of the subVIs in the example that you're using. The Fetch Waveform is on the Waveform Acquisition>Low-Level Acquisition palette. Getting Started is just an example of a high level application using the scope. There are individual VIs that come with the driver. Choose the functions you want to automate and put them into your program.
