Sample usage

Configure and start a P1Reflection measurement.

var visaSession = new TcpipSocket(VISA_RESOURCENAME);
visaSession.RawIO.Write(":CALC:PAR:DEF Z\n");
visaSession.RawIO.Write(":SENS:Z:METH P1R\n");
visaSession.RawIO.Write(":TRIG:SING\n");
// wait for the measurement to finish
visaSession.RawIO.Write("*OPC?\n");
visaSession.RawIO.ReadString();
visaSession.RawIO.Write(":SENS:FREQ:DATA?\n");
var frequencyValues = visaSession.RawIO.ReadString();
visaSession.RawIO.Write(":CALC:DATA:SDAT?\n");
var measurementValues = visaSession.RawIO.ReadString();
