Is there a way to use the value of the arbitrary waveform generator output in a script? I'm interested in comparing the signal the waveform generator or power supply is outputting and a signal that I'm getting from the oscilloscope measurement. I can set the two instruments to share a trigger, so their values should theoretically be aligned and known right?
I could connect one of the scope inputs to the relevant output, but I don't have a scope input to spare (and just knowing what it thinks its outputting would be helpful.)
It would also be nice just to be able to show the wavegen waveform in the scope windows so I can see which events in the wavegen correspond to which events in the scope input.
If that can't be done, then can I somehow log the relevant values so I can do the calculations in an external software?
