OscilloscopeGeneratorTrigger.py

# OscilloscopeGeneratorTrigger.py
#
# This example sets up the generator to generate a 1 kHz triangle waveform, 4 Vpp.
# It also sets up the oscilloscope to perform a block mode measurement, triggered on "Generator new period".
# A measurement is performed and the data is written to OscilloscopeGeneratorTrigger.csv.
