Nice!! It has its own LAN port. I would like to setup a USB to Ethernet bridge with a raspberry pi and try to send commands to a KORAD 3005p (Serial and USB ports only) just for fun.

It could be fun to create a LXI compatible Ethernet/USB/Serial bridge. This is one of the things that will become possible with the new hislip library I'm writing - it will support both server and client side.

I have done a quick test of the RTB2004 using the "edge" release. Screenshots seem to work well, taking ~1.2s to capture. This is fine for screenshots but way too slow for making a video, best to use the fast web livescreen/remote panel if you need that. Discovery and screenshot plugin autodetect also work.
Benchmark shows the following (2 channels, roll mode - these numbers change significantly depending on how much work the scope is doing):
--- Code: ---lxi benchmark -a 192.168.0.47 -c 1000
Benchmarking by sending 1000 ID requests. Please wait...
Result: 74.9 requests/second
lxi benchmark -a 192.168.0.47 -c 1000 -r
Benchmarking by sending 1000 ID requests. Please wait...
Result: 140.9 requests/second
--- End code ---
I haven't tried logging anything yet, or the GUI.
Thanks for the work on this tool - I look forward to it's continued development!

Great. It's not the fastest scope we have seen but it's not that slow either. However, I'm surprised that the instruments web live view feature is faster - it may be using a media streaming protocol to make it faster. Interesting.
Also, we might make the screenshot feature a bit faster by reconfiguring the plugin fo BMP instead of PNG. For some instruments PNG compression is relatively slow.
I'll add the scope to the list of tested instruments and add you as contributor for testing. Thanks.
