I am trying to read raw data using pyvisa which communicates with MDO3014 oscilloscope.
The code I have tried is as follows:-
import pyvisa
rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager()
usb = rm.list_resources()[0]
my_instrument = rm.open_resource(usb)
print(my_instrument.query('*IDN?'))
my_instrument.timeout = 25000
my_instrument.write('SAVE:IMAGe:FILEF PNG')
my_instrument.write('HARDCOPY:START')
raw_data = my_instrument.read_raw()
I am getting timeout error, the traceback of error logs is as follows:-
('USB0::0x0699::0x0408::C031378::INSTR', 'ASRL1::INSTR', 'ASRL3::INSTR')
