About:
Lxi-tools provides a command-line interface and GUI for communicating with LXI (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) compliant devices. It implements standard VISA protocols to discover, query, and control test and measurement equipment over the network. The suite simplifies remote instrument management and automation tasks for engineers and researchers.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for scripting and automation
  • Graphical user interface for interactive instrument control
  • Automatic discovery of network-attached LXI devices
  • Support for SCPI command execution and reading measurements
Use Cases:
  • Automating data acquisition from oscilloscopes and multimeters
  • Remote control of signal generators in test benches
  • Batch configuration of multiple network instruments
Alternatives:
  • PyVISA – Python library requiring backend installation; lxi-tools is a standalone binary suite
  • QSoas – Focuses on data analysis rather than direct instrument control
