What I implemented now is to recognize whether the scope is already
stopped and decide from that. We don't have the capability to completely
configure the thing anyway, so may as well take some hints from how the
user has set up the device. Complete configurability should wait for the
LibreVISA version, there are just so many options I don't think it's
worth implementing everything twice.

AFAIK the software uses the NIVISA runtime. NIVISA should come with a
nifty tool called "nispy.exe" or similar - it does what the name
suggests.

No such luck for the DS2000 series, Rigol doesn't have a Windows
software for these.

Would what I explained above, i.e. using the state of the scope when
recognizing the device (or maybe when starting the capture, makes a
difference for pulseview?) be OK?
