VISA.NET Example in IronPython
You can also control Keysight oscilloscopes using the VISA.NET library and Python
programming language on the .NET platform using:
• IronPython (http://ironpython.net/) which is an implementation of the Python
programming language running under .NET.
To run this example with IronPython:
1 Cut-and-paste the code that follows into a file named "example.py".
2 Edit the program to use the address of your oscilloscope.
3 If the IronPython "ipy.exe" can be found via your PATH environment variable,
open a Command Prompt window; then, change to the folder that contains the
"example.py" file, and enter:
ipy example.py
