"Nscope is asleep." I don’t like that this erases the screen, preventing you from seeing what went wrong. Just leave the screen alone, and post a warning “board power off”.
In fact, it seems like there ought to be a “status” line of text somewhere on the scope face. It can say all of these things, no two have to be shown at the same time:
Board power off
Rolling mode
Data acquisition ongoing...
XY mode
Triggered...
Waiting for trigger
Stopped
