Agilent 3000A scopes only support 2000A standard waveforms #10
Description
The standard waveforms for an Agilent 3000A scope can only be set to the available waveforms for a 2000A scope. I've determined this as follows:
>>> import ivi
>>> mso = ivi.agilent.agilentMSOX3024A("USB0::2391::6054::MY12345678::INSTR")
>>> mso.outputs[0].enabled = 'True'
>>> mso.outputs[0].standard_waveform.waveform = 'sine' # No error
>>> mso.outputs[0].standard_waveform.waveform = 'square' # No error
>>> mso.outputs[0].standard_waveform.waveform = 'ramp_up' # No error
>>> mso.outputs[0].standard_waveform.waveform = 'pulse' # No error
>>> mso.outputs[0].standard_waveform.waveform = 'noise' # No error
>>> mso.outputs[0].standard_waveform.waveform = 'dc' # No error
>>> mso.outputs[0].standard_waveform.waveform = 'gaussian'

ivi.ivi.ValueNotSupportedExceptionAfter searching the source code, I realized that StandardWaveformMapping dictionary in ivi/agilent/agilent3000A.py isn't actually being used. When the agilent3000A class calls its super, the agilent2000A class uses the StandardWaveformMapping dictionary located in that file—ivi/agilent/agilent2000A.py—which only includes the above waveforms that didn't have an error.
@alexforencich Thanks for all of your work on this project! You've done a great job.
