Open source lxi-tools and liblxi v1.0 released for GNU/Linux
N0NB:
A bit off-topic, but as I am using the Snap (only app so far) does it update automatically or is there a command I need to issue to pull an update?

It updates automatically but you can force an update using the following command:
--- Code: ---$ snap refresh
--- End code ---
If you want to know which version you have installed you can do:
--- Code: ---$ snap info lxi-tools
--- End code ---

I just got approval of auto-connection of avahi-control for the lxi-tools snap. This means that if you want to try out the development version of lxi-tools you can now install it with a single command like so:
--- Code: ---$ snap install lxi-tools --edge
--- End code ---
No more need for the "snap connect ..." command.
The new lxi-gui is in good shape. I'm currently working on refining the script feature before the upcoming v2.0 release.
lundmar:
I've just added a new feature to lxi-gui which allows scripts to sample data from instruments and plot it in a nice graphical chart. The chart is updated live as the data comes in.
This feature is leaps better than the old rigid lxi-gui "Data Recorder" feature that was inflexible and didn't really work well. This new way of scripting a data logger / recorder is the right way to do it. It's a little more complex because it is scripted but I think the way I've made the interface with lua makes it really simple! I think most people with little to no scripting experience will still understand.
Here are a couple of examples of the new feature in action:
N0NB:
Looks good.
I think you're said the script language is Python, but what I see doesn't look like the Python I know. I was guessing it to be LUA which seems to be popular for embedded scripting these days.
Please correct me and explain the syntax.
