I'm trying to access a Tek TDS420A scope via an ICS Electronics 8065 VXI-to-GPIB gateway box. I can do this with the Python VXI-11 utilities, but there appears to be no way to do so from the scope HAL.
The gotcha seems to be that the "lxi" connection class doesn't support a way for the user to enter the actual instrument "name". It's hard-coded to "instr0". To go through this particular sort of gateway, it's necessary to use a name such as "gpib0,4".
The user can specify the VXI-11 port if desired, but not the device-name.
Maybe a third field in the parameter string (e.g. "ipaddr:port:name")?
