LXI tools like the Keysight software's ??? DMM connectivity 1.0.2.0 ok, benchvue(s) 2017 and up are ok, i/o librairies suite ok
Even a basic excel sheet w macros seems to work BUT i think the meter as to be ready to take the measurement(s) there is a command i don't catch ...
Maybe thru the CONFig command or the SENSe command ??? before the MEASurement commands from the sheet link (previous thread)
Kinda lost a little loll for now I'm connected thru usb since i don't have an AR488 gpib dongle ... has to order the @artag boards
QUESTION : could it be ported to android as an app ??? But i do think about an RASPI touchscreen version like an cpi-a070wr (raspi panel pc) who sit somewhere
I have an crazy idea to remotely control the meter / far away .... but controlled with an simple tool
I do know about some ar488 with esp wifi add on ...
I'm trying other softwares like testcontrol, but have an hard time figuring out the menus and some meter functions, even some visual studio codes etc ...
I'm sad to see there is no interest foe the 34410 / 34411 / l4411 series, not sure the coding of the 34461 can or could work ??

But lxi-gui starts regardless of these errors right?
I'm getting similar errors when I start lxi-gui from the edge channel. It is errors thrown from GTK4 - they seem to vary depending on GTK4 version used so I think it is ok to ignore them.
The difference of the snaps are that on the edge channel I'm using a new snap base image (core22). It should be faster to launch.

Yes, lxi-gui seems to start OK. I'll ignore them for now, then, thanks, but will report back if something seems not to actually function ok.

Sorry, no Android app.
Yes, you can install lxi-tools on Raspian or other Linux distros such as Ubuntu and it will just work.

lxi-tools is a really simple tool for managing any of your network attached LXI compatible instruments. Just plug in your instrument on your LAN network and fire up lxi-tools and it should discover it.

I've released lxi-tools v2.3 which is a minor bug fix release that fixes an annoying bug with selecting instruments and copying IP or ID.
https://github.com/lxi-tools/lxi-tools/releases/tag/v2.3
As usual, latest version is immediately available via snap. Distributions will catch up later.
lundmar:
lxi-tools v2.4 has been released: https://github.com/lxi-tools/lxi-tools/releases/tag/v2.4
--- Code: ---Changes since lxi-tools v2.3:
Prefix all lua functions with lxi_
To avoid conflict with existing lua APIs.
--- End code ---
This means lua scripts will have to be updated to call the new lua function names.
