Spent my Black Friday bonus and Bought a 1104z dso, I can help.
I d like to implement stuff in C.

Congratz for the new oscilloscope! 

It's about 10-30 lines of Python, but sure can be done in C.
As an inspiration you can take a look at https://github.com/lxi-tools/liblxi.

But before that, assign a fixed IP to your new dso, then open a telnet to the IP you assigned, port 5555.  Mine has 192.168.1.3, so with netcat that will be:

Code: [Select]

nc 192.168.1.3 5555
aaa@bbb:~$ nc 192.168.1.3 5555

# then from inside nc, type
*IDN?

# and if all OK, your oscilloscope will answer with something like
RIGOL TECHNOLOGIES,DS1104Z,DS1ZA123456789,00.04.05.SP2

That's it, you now officially know how to talk SCPI with your oscilloscope, in this case using Telnet.

I think if one forks a repo that isn't clearly and regularly maintained then you're on you're own. You've basically taken their code and taken responsibility for it's future.

It's incredible how many repos are out there with issues dating back months that the owners haven't even responded to.
