In this example the FUNCTION_GENERATOR_DS1047Z block is used to control the source function of the Rigol DS1047Z oscilloscope.

A CONNECTION_DS1047Z block must first be used to make the connection between Flojoy and the instrument.

Three different functions are used, and TIMER functions are used to delay the time between each one allowing the changes to take effect.
