    • C#
    var visaSession = new TcpipSocket(VISA_RESOURCENAME);
    visaSession.RawIO.Write(":SENS:FREQ:STAR 10kHz;STOP 20kHz\n");
    visaSession.RawIO.Write(":SENS:SWE:POIN 500\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();
    
    • Python
    visaSession.write(':SENS:FREQ:STAR 10kHz;STOP 20kHz\n')
    visaSession.write(':SENS:SWE:POIN 500\n')
    visaSession.write(':TRIG:SING\n')
    visaSession.query('*OPC?\n')
    frequencyValues = visaSession.query(':SENS:FREQ:DATA?\n')
    measurementValues = visaSession.query(':CALC:DATA:SDAT?\n')
