lxi

Go-based implementation of the LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) standard to send SCPI commands or to provide an interface for Interchangeable Virtual Instrument (IVI) drivers.

Overview

This packages enables controlling LXI compatible test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, function generators, multimeters, etc.) over Ethernet. While this package can be used by itself to send Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) commands to a piece of test equipment, it also serves to provide an Instrument interface for both the ivi and visa packages. The ivi package provides standardized APIs for programming test instruments following the Interchangeable Virtual Instrument (IVI) standard.
