v2.2

Changes since lxi-tools v2.1:

  • Add support for manually adding instruments

    Manually added instruments are managed via settings in the dconf registry so that they can be remembered by the application.

    Manually added instruments will appear with an instrument icon with a yellow indicator (indicating that it may or may not be present).

    Automatically discovered instruments will appear with an instrument icon with a green indicator (indicating that it is likely present since it responded).

    Once added it is possible to edit or remove instruments again via the right click menu.

  • Do not break normal clipboard copy feature

  • Only copy image data to clipboard when image data is available

  • Add repology packaging status

  • Fix desktop file categories

    Prevent that application might appear more than once in the application menu

  • Rework meson lua dependency check

    To support more distributions which package lua differently.

  • Rework meson readline dependency check

    To support readline installations without pkg-config.

  • Remove internationalization stuff

    There are no plans to support other languages.

  • Rename COPYING -> LICENSE

  • Cleanup date_time()

    Also, use ISO8601 timestamp format.

  • Rename test -> examples

  • Update PSU data log test script

  • Add automation test script (draft)

  • Reduce default timeout values

  • Fix timeout conversion

    Fix so that the printed default timeout values are not different when running 'lxi' or 'lxi --help'. Fix also simplifies code.

  • Remove obsolete completion script for snap

  • Use '#pragma once' in all headers

  • Disable natural wrap mode

  • Cleanup circleCI configuration

  • Rename ChangeLog to NEWS

  • Enable gui by default

    Distributions like Ubuntu now have all the components required to build lxi-gui so let's enable it by default.

  • Add TODO list

Perry Hung:

  • README: update readme to reflect lecroy support

    Add the LeCroy WavePro ZI-a to the list of tested devices.

  • plugins: lecroy: poll status register until SCDP bit is set

    To avoid racing the device (transferring a file before it's available), poll the SCDP bit in the status register until the hardcopy has completed.

  • plugins: lecroy make command format consistent

    Use shortened and capitalized forms across all commands for consistency.

  • plugins: lecroy: error check and validate inputs

    Fix some memory safety issues. Add some rudimentary checks and validate untrusted input from the device.

  • plugins: implement screenshot for LeCroy WavePRO oscilloscopes

    This changeset adds screenshot support for LeCroy oscilloscopes that implement the MAUI LXI interface.

    In principle this should work with other LeCroy telescopes, but I have only tested it with the WavePro 7 Zi-A.

Adrian Scripca:

  • Added ability to copy grabbed screenshot to clipboard

Eddie:

  • adds R&S CMW270 to README

werwaswarum:

  • Add R&S ZNL as compatible

    Tested R&S ZNL3. LXI discover and SCPI ok. As far as I read the manual screenshoots are only saved to the device or send to a printer.

Walter Stanish:

  • Update Wiki link text; add Wiki section

v2.1

2 years ago

Changes since lxi-tools v2.0:

  • Remove scpi run commands from file feature

    Retiring this feature as one should use the Lua script feature instead.

  • Fix memory leak in screenshot plugins

  • Add extra features to the SCPI text view context menu

    Add "Clear all" and "Save as.." features.

  • Fix printing of sent SCPI command when using TCP/RAW

    A redundant newline is removed.

  • Improve SCPI send button state change

  • Fix appdata.xml.in

  • Prefix SCPI messages with timestamp, IP, and type

    Allow prefixing SCPI messages with timestamp, IP, and type (REQ/RSP). Add preference settings accordingly.

    Prefixing with IP is default.

  • Rename from metainfo to appdata because of meson

  • Update application meta file

  • Update AppData path

  • Fix psu data log test

  • meson: Require dependencies

v2.0

2 years ago

Changes since lxi-tools v1.21:

  • New lxi-gui application with many new features

    Too many changes to list here. See git history for complete list of changes.

  • Replace autotools with meson

  • Pass id to screenshot plugins

  • Do not exit when screenshot plugin fails

  • Rename lxi option '-s --script' to -f --file'

  • Add lua clock API

    Add lua clock API for measuring elapsed time:

    • c = clock_new() - Returns new clock
    • time = clock_read(c) - Returns elapsed time in seconds since first read call
    • clock_reset(c) - Resets clock time
    • clock_free(c) - Releases clock handle

    First time clock_read() is called on a new clock it will return a time of 0 seconds and the clock will start running.

    This clock API is useful for time stamping data as it is retrieved from an instrument.

  • Replace Travis wth CircleCI

    Travis is no longer free for open source projects!

    CircleCI seems to be the new king for quick open source CI.

  • Add Rigol DM3058 to instrument list
