PyMeasure

from pymeasure.adapters import VISAAdapter
from pymeasure.instruments import Instrument
from pymeasure.instruments.tektronix import TDS2000

# Create a VISA adapter
adapter = VISAAdapter("TCPIP::192.168.1.1::INSTR")

# Connect to the TDS2000 Oscilloscope
scope = TDS2000(adapter)

# Perform measurements
scope.measurement.source = 'CH1'
scope.measurement.type = 'FREQ'
scope.measurement.unit = 'Hz'
value = scope.measurement.value

# Disconnect from the instrument
scope.disconnect()

Explanation:

1. Import the necessary modules from Pymeasure.
2. Create a VISA adapter with the appropriate address for your TDS2000 Oscilloscope.
3. Connect to the TDS2000 Oscilloscope using the adapter.
4. Set the measurement source, type, and unit using the scope.measurement object.
5. Retrieve the measurement value using the scope.measurement.value property.
6. Disconnect from the instrument to release resources.
