        Function generator GPIB is broken, so cannot ensure if live

It is alive
Function generator, HP 8116A
Here is what to test:
startup
frequency
waveform
amplAndOffs
amplitudeRange
duty

Problems here

  1. Our particular synth GPIB is broken, so it cannot query
  2. The below are currently not working with pretty obscure VISA errors

TODO

In [ ]:

# synth.frequency(100)
# synth.waveform('sine')
# maxVolt = synth.amplitudeRange[1]
# synth.amplAndOffs((maxVolt / 10, 0))
