Programmatic Control Examples

Code examples sorted by instrument, including examples taken from the User's Manuals. This is a good place to start off learning about programming for an instrument.

This GitHub repository stores working and in-progress code examples. The code and content here is not officially supported unless otherwise stated by a Tektronix employee. It is offered for learning and collaboration purposes.

Feel free to open a new issue for any questions or respond to questions by other members. Should you require a time-sensitive answer, please contact your local Tektronix support center here.

You may also recognize some of these examples from the Tektronix and Keithley Web Forums!
