liblxi is an open source software library which offers a simple API
for communicating with LXI compatible instruments. The API allows
applications to discover instruments on your network, send SCPI
commands, and receive responses.

Currently the library supports VXI-11/TCP and RAW/TCP
connections. Future work include adding support for the newer and
more efficient HiSlip protocol which is used by next generation LXI
instruments.

The library is based on the VXI-11 RPC protocol implementation which
is part of the asynDriver EPICS module, which, at time of writing, is
available from:
