Remote-control via all interfaces supported by VXI11 interface.

Supported features:

• save screenshot.

• save recorded waveforms from memory. data for each channel is saved as string of unsigned chars. supports saving multiple records and all visible channels.

• save and restore current setup. (some settings sadly cannot be saved, like channel labels)

• scripts to convert dumped channel data to wave and sigrok format, thus making downloaded data analyzable in e.g. pulseview

Extra devices

• HP 53310a Modulation Domain Analyzer
• LeCroy LC574AL Ocsilloscope
