LabWindows - control Tektronix scope using VISA

I am trying to pull basic data from my TDS3054C using NI-VISA commands, and am using LabWindows to do so. The scope is connected via Ethernet. I have run through the example scripts that came with LabWindows, however, I could not get them to work with my scope. I am able to access the scope via NI-MAX, and I think I have successfully opened a session with the scope via my C script. I would like to pull any basic data from the scope to confirm (such as volts/division for each channel or something). I have found the programmers manual for this scope (https://download.tek.com/manual/071038103web.pdf). I really just don't know what commands and syntax I would use to do so. viread? viwrite? viscanf? I would love an example script for TCPIP using VISA commands with some basic commands to pull information from the scope. I am new to all of this so any information in digestible pieces would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Does anyone have any examples other than the ones given with LabWindows? Any resources at all?
