Introduction lxi-tools are open source software tools for managing network attached LXI compatible test instruments such as modern oscilloscopes, power supplies, spectrum analyzers etc. Features include automatic discovery of test instruments, sending SCPI commands, grabbing screenshots from supported instruments, benchmarking SCPI message performance, and powerful scripting for test automation. Both a commandline tool and a GUI tool are available. lxi-tools rely on liblxi for all communication. 1.1 What is LXI? LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) is a standard developed by the LXI Consortium, an industry consortium that maintains the LXI specification and promotes the LXI Standard. The LXI standard defines the communication protocols for modern instrumentation and data acquisition systems using Ethernet. Visit www.lxistandard.org for more details. Please notice that lxi-tools is not affiliated with the LXI consortium - it is an independent open source community effort. 1.2 Motivation To make better and simpler open source tools for managing network attached LXI compatible test instruments. 2. Features Automatically discover test instruments on local network via VXI11 or mDNS Send SCPI commands and receive responses Automatically grab screenshots from supported instruments Benchmark request/response performance of instruments Support for manually adding instruments in case they are undiscoverable Powerful Lua scripting support for adv","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/lxi-tools","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/lxi-tools/lxi-tools/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
