%% MATLAB ICT Control 1 (Hello World)
% Date: 10-9-2008
% ==================
% Basic program that connects to the instrument, identifies the instrument,
% resets to default settings, then properly closes the connection.
% 
% COMPATIBILITY
% ==================
% This example uses two standard commands, "*IDN?" and "*RST", which should
% function for the majority of Tektronix instruments.  Please consult the 
% documentation for details on available instrument commands.
