Pull request overview
Adds a new NI-SCOPE example script that continuously acquires waveform data and displays it in a live-updating matplotlib graph, aligning with the repo’s “community examples” goal of providing runnable reference workflows.
Changes:
- Introduces
niscope_continuously_update_graph.pyimplementing continuous acquisition + animated plotting. - Adds a CLI entry point to configure acquisition parameters (samples, vertical range/coupling, sample rate, etc.).
- Adds basic simulated-run test helpers (
test_example,test_main) for automation parity with other examples.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
