lxi-rs

This crate aims to simplify implementation of the LXI Device Specification. The specifications consists of a core specification and a optional set of extended functions.

Currently the focus is on implementing HiSLIP/VXI-11/Socket protocols for Unix-like environments. A long-term goal is to support an async no-std environment like

Relevant standards:

• IVI-6.1 High-Speed LAN Instrument Protocol (HiSLIP) v2.0
• VXI-11 REVISION v1.0
• LXI Device specification v1.5

Scope

This crate does not handle command parsing and/or execution, look at scpi-rs(:crab:) or libscpi(C) for that.

Examples

Each protocol includes an example service, you can try them out with cargo run --example <protocol> where protocol is either hislip,vxi11,raw, or telnet. Run cargo run --example <protocol> -- --help for help and specific arguments for each protocol.

Testing

This crate uses two types of tests, the cargo test framework and pytest. Cargo test is mostly used for unit-testing while pytest is integration tests against pyvisa.

1. Install python requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
2. [Optional but required to test HiSLIP] Install NI-VISA for Linux, see pyvisa guide here
3. Run tests: cargo test && pytest

Coverage

1. Install cargo-llvm-cov and testing dependencies above.
2. Run ./coverage --open
