This driver has been tested on a wide range of Teledyne LeCroy / LeCroy hardware. It should be compatible with any
Teledyne LeCroy or LeCroy oscilloscope running Windows XP or newer and the MAUI or XStream software.

\section{Tektronix}

This driver is being primarily developed on a MSO64. It supports raw SCPI over LXI VXI-11. It may also work via USBTMC,
but this have never been tested. Use of the ``lan" transport is not recommended due to observed stability issues.
This driver is being primarily developed on a MSO64. It supports SCPI over LXI VXI-11 or TCP sockets.

The hardware supports USBTMC, however waveform download via USBTMC does not work with libscopehal for unknown reasons.

Avoid using memory depths longer than 500K points with glscopeclient. The scope firmware will crash if you try and
require a full reboot.

``None" rather than the default of ``Terminal".

Additionally, we have seen some stability issues with the ``lan" transport which appear to be due to synchronization
bugs in the firmware when multiple commands (especially enabling/disabling channels) are batched into the same TCP
segment or sent closely enough that they are processed concurrently on the instrument.
