Thanks. The ID string from the meter is
Keysight Technologies,34461A,<serial number here>,A.02.17-02.40-02.17-00.52-03-02
but apparently the ID string is user changeable to also make it look like an Agilent or HP unit, for backwards compatibility.

I tried
snap refresh lxi-tools --edge
to get your latest version, but it told me
snap "lxi-tools" has no updates available

Name       Version  Rev   Developer  Notes

lxi-tools  1.17     478   lundmar    -

Did I do something wrong? How should I get the new plugin?

Good - the new plugin should match your ID.

Unfortunately it seems the snap build service is currently down and the ETA is unknown. Hopefully it will soon be available again so that a new snap will be built.

EDIT: It's because of the whole spectre/meltdown thing the build service is down.

Good to know I haven't done something wrong. Will try again later, and report back. Thanks for the rapid responses! :)

lundmar:
This is how I think the new lxi GUI (lxi-gui) is going to look:



To make it really simple, all features in the listed tab views (SPCI, Screenshot, Benchmark, etc.) operate on the instrument selected in the instrument list.

Currently instruments are automatically added to the list via the search feature but I expect to add the option of also adding instruments manually in case an instrument does not support discovery.

I think the structure of this GUI is very user friendly.
