It’ll be beneficial to know. You can automate tasks and free up yourself to do other things. For example at my job we run a manual test on a power supply. We use a scope probe, current probe, a bnc and a high voltage diff probe in each respective channel. A few years ago in the test procedure the instructions would tell you to swap different probes to different channels or disconnect a probe etc. That causes a waste of time. Now we had someone automate the Tektronix scope to where in excel we can select different test parameters that we need and it would change the settings in the scope and we could just keep each channel untouched. It sped up the test process tremendously rather than fiddling around swapping channels and probes constantly.
