-=== 2.1 Hardware Setup === +
-To demonstrate the Script Editor, the //Scope// and //Wavegen// instruments will be used. +
- +
-First, connect the <test & measurement> scope channel 1 pin (orange wire) to the device's wavegen channel 1 output pin (yellow wire). For devices that use differential input channels, make sure to connect the scope channel 1 negative pin (orange wire with white stripes) to the ground pin associated with wavegen channel 1 (black wire). +

-=== 2.2 Software Setup ===  +
-Before the //Script Editor// can make use of the instruments, they must be opened in WaveForms. In WaveForms' Welcome tab, open the //Scope// instrument, then open the //Wavegen// instrument. +

-=== 2.3 Running the Script === +
- +
-Return to the Scripts page by clicking on its tab in the bar at the top of the screen. Click the "Run" ({{:learn:instrumentation:tutorials:waveforms-buttons:waveforms-run.png?nolink}}) button to start running the script. +
- +
-Print statements and uncaught errors are shown in the output panel. +

-=== 2.4 Debugging === +
- +
-Debugging scripts is done inside WaveForms itself, allowing the user to step through the execution of the script. The debugger is accessed by clicking the "Debug" ({{:learn:instrumentation:tutorials:waveforms-buttons:waveforms-debug.png?nolink}}) button, which will open a new window with the Qt debugger tool. +

-==== Next Steps ==== +
- +
-If voltage values seen in the //Voltmeter// are significantly different from the expected voltage output of the //Supplies//, please calibrate the device by following the **Calibration Guide**. FIXME link +
- +
-For more guides on how to use both the Digilent <test & measurement device> and WaveForms, return to the device's Resource Center, linked from the **Test and Measurement** page. FIXME link +
