The API allows applications to +discover instruments on your network, send SCPI commands, and receive +responses. + +Currently the library supports VXI-11/TCP and RAW/TCP connections. Future work +include adding support for the newer and more efficient HiSlip protocol which +is used by next generation LXI instruments. + +The library is based on the VXI-11 RPC protocol implementation which is part +of the asynDriver EPICS module, which, at time of writing, is available from: +http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/modules/soft/asyn/index.html + +NOTE: avahi is an optional dependency |
