Network Instrument Workbench

A layered set of functions to abstract the Prologix command set into an easy to use bash shell script format. To provide access to and control of electronic test equipment, initially for data logging applications. Functions to configure, send commands, data and status. Also to provides functionality for direct access to other network enabled equipment. Command line and makefile environment. Developed under FreeBSD, but built and tested without code change under Debian, XUbuntu and Devuan Linux. Overall, the aim is to provide some of the control functionality and simplicity of the old HP Basic instrument control framework, accessable from any machine on the network. It’s still a work ongoing, but functional enough now to upload and perhaps get some feedback from potential users.
