-Simple usage example:+Connecting to Agilent MSO7104A via LXI:
  
 <code python> <code python>
Line 23: Line 27:
 # returns '​AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES,​MSO7104A,​MY********,​06.16.0001'​ # returns '​AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES,​MSO7104A,​MY********,​06.16.0001'​
 </​code>​ </​code>​

 +Connecting to Agilent E3649A on GPIB address 5 via HP 2050A GPIB bridge:
 +
 +<code python>
 +import vxi11
 +instr =  vxi11.Instrument("​192.168.1.105",​ "​gpib,​5"​)
 +print(instr.ask("​*IDN?"​))
 +# returns '​Agilent Technologies,​E3649A,​0,​1.4-5.0-1.0'​
 +</​code>​
 +
 +It is also possible to connect with VISA resource strings like so:
 +
 +<code python>
 +import vxi11
 +instr =  vxi11.Instrument("​TCPIP::​192.168.1.104::​INSTR"​)
 +print(instr.ask("​*IDN?"​))
 +# returns '​AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES,​MSO7104A,​MY********,​06.16.0001'​
 +</​code>​
 +
 +and:
 +
 +<code python>
 +import vxi11
 +instr = vxi11.Instrument("​TCPIP::​192.168.1.105::​gpib,​5::​INSTR"​)
 +print(instr.ask("​*IDN?"​))
 +# returns '​Agilent Technologies,​E3649A,​0,​1.4-5.0-1.0'​
