A quick question about running scripts in WaveForm3.0

[Charlie]

Hello,

I am new to the Analog Discovery and WaveForm software, so this might be a "silly" question. I did try to run some scripts in WaveForm3,0 (The latest version). Right now, I am just running the example code coming with the tool. It is shown in the following, it gave errors, like Can't find variable: Wavegen1, etc. I believe I have to add a library which includes all the definitions of this variables, but I didn't find them. Can anyone help with me and show me how to get codes like this to run successfully? Thanks so much!

function main(){

if(!('Wavegen1' in this) || !('Scope1' in this)) {

throw("Please open a Scope and a Wavegen instrument");

}

Wavegen1.run();

for(var idx = 0; wait(1) && idx < 10; idx++){

Scope1.single();

if(!Scope1.wait()){

return;

}

var average = 0;

var data = Scope1.Channel1.data;

data.forEach(function(sample){average += sample;})

average /= data.length;

print(idx+" Average: "+average+" V");

}

}

main();

Hello,

The Scripting tool allows automating/ customizing the other instruments by providing access to adjust the configuration of these, control them and acquire data.

The default examples needs a Scope and a Wavegen instrument.
This starts the Wavegen, performs 10 Scope acquisitions, calculates and prints the average of channel 1. 

You can also perform further data processing, data logging, adjusting the Wavegen offset based on some Scope measurements...
