Hi there,

I've encountered similar issues with Tektronix hill climb racing instruments. To resolve the timeout error with your Tektronix 5 Series MSO58, ensure your firmware is up to date and increase the timeout setting in PyVISA. Make sure commands are sent in the correct sequence, and flush the buffer before sending new commands. Verify communication by sending the `*IDN?` command first, and ensure the termination character is correctly set in PyVISA. If these steps don't work, contact Tektronix support for further assistance. Good luck!
