TODO / features to add

  • Detecting / reconnecting after a dropped / lost connection
  • Implement DEVICE_INTR for SRQ (I have not run into a use case for this)
  • Add broadcast for instrument discovery

Usage

(quicklisp:quickload "vxi11")

(defparameter *my-instr*
  (vxi11:vxi11-connect :host "your-instrument-hostname" :device "inst0"))

(vxi11:vxi11-query/string *my-instr* "*IDN?")

(vxi11:vxi11-disconnect *my-instr*) ;; or let it get garbage collected
