Open source lxi-tools and liblxi v1.0 released for GNU/Linux
lundmar:
FYI - I've renamed the website from lxi.github.io to lxi-tools.github.io
Also, there are new releases of lxi-tools and liblxi which include latest fixes and documentation changes.
New snaps are also available for instant upgrade. For those who already have lxi-tools snap installed try (note that it might already be automatically updated):
--- Code: ---snap refresh lxi-tools
--- End code ---
Or, if you don't have it installed already, simply:
--- Code: ---snap install lxi-tools
--- End code ---
After snap is installed, you will have to run this command:
--- Code: ---$ snap alias lxi-tools.lxi lxi
--- End code ---
To make the normal 'lxi' command work. Else only 'lxi-tools.lxi' will work. It's a temporary situation until my snap is approved automatic alias support by vote of the snap guys.
I've also created a new logo for the project just to spruce things up a bit :)
If anyone runs into issues installing using snap please let me know. Thanks.

Hi lundmar,
Just to confirm that lxi snap and aliasing seem to be working fine on my Ubuntu 14.04 box.

Thats interesting, I didn't expect snaps to be supported on such old Ubuntu installations but I guess it only demonstrates how powerful snaps are.
Thanks for the feedback :-+
Btw. I haven't heard from Siglent yet regarding the screenshot file format on the SSA3000 - I think most people are off due to extended Thanksgiving holidays.

Oh it is not that old actually but yes I had to install snap demon and it doesn't come pre-installed out of the box

Still impressive though.
Oh by the way, I just got a response from Siglent and they provided me an undocumented SCPI command for doing a full screenshot capture on the SSA3000 series :)
In fact, I've already pushed a fix for the siglent-ssa300x plugin so you will be able to test it immediately via the snap edge channel:
--- Code: ---$ snap install lxi-tools --edge
--- End code ---
Or, if you have it already installed, you can make sure it is up-to-date and using the edge channel like so:
--- Code: ---$ snap refresh lxi-tools --edge
--- End code ---
Please let me know if the plugin now works for you. You might have to take care to increase the default timeout as the image BMP data is rather large.
