lxi

Go-based implementation of the LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) standard.

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.
