How can I obtain a scope like presentati​on using measuremen​t studio and VB?

Question

I would like to use the scope active X control provided in Measurement Studio to provide an oscilloscope presnetation of data acquired using the NI 6110 high speed digitizer boards.
Is this possible?
Some sample code would be helpful.  I am used to setting up virtual channels in the Measurement and automation software and then referencing the virtual channel number in the properties of the active x control in VB.  I can't figure out how to accomplich this with the scope active x control.
Thanks

Hello Cubby!
I am assuming when you say you want to use the Scope ActiveX control in
VB6 that you are refering too the IVISCOPE activeX control.  This
control will allow you to have the O-Scope type interface with little
to no programming.   Please notice this will be different
then using MAX because you will need to have an IVI session of your
scope set up.
After Adding this component to your project simply lay it on the
form.  Next in the property page associated with the control find
the 'Custom' property.  Click on the '...' button inside the
property which will bring up a attribute page.  Finally, select
your IVI scope session that was configured in MAX or if your using an
NI scope board enter the resource in the DAQ::x::INSTR format.  To
verify that everything is setup correctly click on the 'Configuration'
tab and click the Verify button.

If you have more questions please feel free to ask.  I could not
locate any example code,  but you should be able to get it working
by simply configuring the control correctly.  Have a great day!
