TRIGGER_CHANNEL_MDO3XXX

Set the triggering channel of a MDO3XXX oscilloscope (or query it). Requires a CONNECTION_MDO3XXX block at the start of the app to connect with the instrument. The VISA address will then be listed under 'connection'. This block should also work with compatible Tektronix scopes (untested): MDO4xxx, MSO4xxx, and DPO4xxx. Params: connection : VisaConnection The VISA address (requires the CONNECTION_MDO3XXX block). channel : int The channel to set as the triggering channel (used if set=True). query_set : str Whether to query or set the triggering channel. Returns: out : DataContainer String: The triggering channel (e.g. CH1).
