%% Plotting Lock-in Amplifier Example
%
%  This example demonstrates how you can configure the Lock-in Amplifier
%  instrument to demodulate an input signal from Input 1 with the reference
%  signal from the Local Oscillator to extract the X component and generate
%  a sine wave on the auxiliary output
