Hmm, does not look like a bitmap. I've pushed a new change to test. Can you try it out and send me a new file? Thanks.
Also, can you try without the -p option, just to see if it automatically loads the correct plugin.

Oh great. I was told by Siglent that some of their instruments may not discover but it could be a tool issue. Apparently the recent SSA and presumably also SDS works fine with the lxi-tools discover feature. Either way, we will soon have a discover --mdns option which will allow for finding even more instruments, in particular next gen LXI instruments
lundmar:
FYI - I've released new versions of liblxi and lxi-tools which add support for searching for LXI instruments using mDNS/DNS-SD as described by the most recent LXI device specification.
This means it is now possible to discover modern LXI instruments that do not support the older VXI-11 discover mechanism.
To search for LXI instruments using mDNS/DNS-SD simply add the --mdns option to the discover command like so:
--- Code: ---$ lxi discover --mdns
--- End code ---

It looks like you are not running latest version of lxi-tools. I assume you are pulling the latest from git? Perhaps you forgot to run make install?
Both liblxi and lxi-tools must match latest versions.
Also, for the new feature to work you must install libavahi-core-dev libavahi-common-dev libavahi-client-dev

Hello,
I tried the latest version
"lxi discover" is working for my Rigol DS2000 scope and my Siglent SSA3000 amalyzer
dpenev@yni:~/lxi-tools/lxi-tools$ lxi discover --mdns
Searching for LXI devices - please wait...
No services found
Should I start something on my PC?
Screenshot for SSA3000 doesn't work at my side
