This one line item twigged my interest.

Dedicating my 53220A to certain long running tasks that don’t require its full 
capabilities irks me a little. If can design my own gizmo to provide time 
interval sampling/averaging, what’s the best route to connecting it up to 
TimeLab?

Let’s start with the assumption that I can generate serial data and get that 
into a Raspberry Pi that’s on the network running ser2net. So I have a TCP 
listening socket that will spit out… what? Time interval values in ASCII one 
per line in seconds in scientific notation (3.14159E-3)? If I can do that, what 
driver (that is, acquisition source type) do I use in TimeLab to gather it up?

I’m strongly inclined to use networking for this because I run TimeLab in a VM 
on my laptop, and for long-running tasks, it’s stationed rather far removed 
from my workbench.
