--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
lxi-tools v1.12 =============== * Update to new URL * Add snap status *
Fix redirection of output to file * Update README * Cleanup configure.ac *
Jakub Wilk: Use HTTPS in the configure script lxi-tools v1.11 ===============
* Update README * Update man page * Update AUTHORS * Expand tested
instruments list * Rename screenshot plugin rigol-1000 -> rigol-1000z * Add
various Rigol screenshot plugins * Add the following Rigol screenshot plugins:
* rigol-dg4000 Rigol DG4000 series function generator * rigol-dm3000 Rigol
DM3000 series digital multimeter * rigol-dp800 Rigol DP800 series power
supply * rigol-dsa800 Rigol DSA800 series spectrum analyzer * rigol-
dsa700 Rigol DSA700 series spectrum analyzer The code is added on behalf of
PeDre from the EEVBlog forum. * Add authors section in README * Add
README.md to prettify GitHub page * The original README is still preserved
because it is more readable when not reading it via GitHub. * Jakub Wilk:
Strip trailing spaces * Fix typo * Fix grammar and typos lxi-tools v1.10
=============== * Add support for mDNS/DNS-SD discovery * Add "--mdns"
option which enables the discover command to search for LXI devices/services
using mDNS/DNS-SD. * Fix Siglent screenshot plugins * Write correct response
buffer to file. Improve .regex match expression. lxi-tools v1.9 ==============
* Update README * Fix newlines when redirecting to file or terminal * Rename
--dump-hex to --hex * Fix missing error message when no SCPI command defined
* Update man page * Remove --dump-file option * The correct way to dump
response to file is to use pipe output redirection. For example: * lxi scpi
--address 192.168.1.210 "*IDN?" > response.txt * This way it is possible
to
dump any binary reponse to file. * Fix missing error message when no IP
address defined * Print errors to stderr * Cleanup Siglent SDS1000 plugin
name * Add Siglent SSA 3000X screenshot plugin * Cleanup script examples *
Correct default SCPI raw/TCP port * By default use port 5025 as described
here:
http://www.lxistandard.org/About/LXI-Protocols.aspx * If a different
port is needed use the '--raw-port' option. * Apparently Rigol is not using
the recommended port for raw SCPI commands. * Update descriptions of the
plugin options lxi-tools v1.8 ============== * Update README * Add
Siglent SDS 1000 screenshot plugin lxi-tools v1.7 ============== * Update
README * Cleanup * Update .regex for Tektronix plugin * Update .regex for
R&S plugin * Update .regex for Keysight plugin * Update man page * Embed
instrument IP address in screenshot filename * This helps identify
screenshot files when capturing screenshots from multiple instruments. * It
also allows to simplify the APIs used by the screenshot plugins. * Change
option '--model' to '--plugin' * Lets remove any model vs. plugin
confusion
and only deal with plugin names. Each plugin includes support for one or more
instruments models as described in the plugin description. * Add automatic
loading of screenshot plugin feature * If no screenshot plugin is specified
the tool will automatically try to select the best plugin by matching the
instruments ID string against the regular expressions defined in each plugin.
* Each screenshot plugin defines a .regex string entry containing space
separated regular expressions. Each regular expression is matched against the
instrument ID string. The plugin with most matches is selected. * Note: This
mechanism is slightly slower than manually specifying which screenshot plugin
because it needs to retrieve the instruments ID string first. * Improve
description of Rigol plugins * Fix Rigol 2000 screenshot plugin * Remove
trailing newline in received image data. * Add screenshot plugin for Rigol
2000 series * Also, make existing Rigol plugin only apply for 1000z series.
lxi-tools v1.6 ============== * Add date-time stamp to screenshot filename
* Improve command handling * In case of a misspelled command the tool would
misleadingly respond: "Error: No IP address specified" * With this fix, it
now responds: "Error: Unknown command" * Update README * Added screenshot
plugin for Tektronix 2000 series scopes * Improve scpi response output * Add
--raw and --raw-port options to scpi command * One can now use choose to use
raw/TCP instead of VXI11 when firing SCPI commands. Simply append the --raw
option like so: * lxi scpi --raw --address 192.168.0.42 "*IDN?" * By
default raw/TCP port 5555 is used but it can be changed using the --raw-port
option. * Warning: Using raw/TCP is faster than VXI11 but does not provide
any timeout/control mechanisms so if your command somehow stalls it will stall
forever. * Use new lxi_connect() function * Cleanup * Make screenshot
filename optional * In case no screenshot filename is provided the tool will
write the screenshot image to an automatically resolved and incremented filename
on the form screenshot-###.. For example, screenshot-000.png,
screenshot-001.png, etc.. * Improve screenshot model listing * Increase
default timeout for screenshot command * Transferring screenshot image data
takes time so lets increase the timeout so we do not easily interrupt a good but
slow transfer. * Collapse Rigol screenshot plugin * Support all Rigol
oscilloscope models via one model name. * Add screenshot support for Keysight
IV 2000 X * Cleanup plugins * Add screenshot support for R&S HMO1000 series
* Add screenshot support for Rigol 2000/4000 * Create directory for screenshot
plugins
