vxi11_tb uses source code from Steve D. Sharples VXI11 library. Except of vxi11.x (which has it's own open source license) all GPL. gpib_tb uses linux-gpib (GPLv2) usbtmc_tb and tcp_tb uses libc dummy visa_tb uses openvisa (GPLv2) >>> It would be more useful if you could add your code to the existing >>> instrument-control package in OF and merge your instrument-control >>> with the one that Andrius Sutas wrote for SOCIS. >>> >>> Do you have the time and interest to do so? >> >> I have ported the TCP and USBTMC part.
