HPKit released

HPKit release 0.1, a set of simple shell linux tools to communicate to test equipment, Hewlett Packard/Agilent and others, via GPIB/HPIB interface.

You can download it from GitHub:

https://github.com/rapgenic/hpkit.git

It consists of three programs:

• hplot, emulates an HP plotter to print or save a screenshot of the instrument’s display; it can be used with hp2xx (https://www.gnu.org/software/hp2xx/);
• hplisten, similar to hplot, though it doesn’t emulate a plotter, but only listens for generic data;
• hptalk, used to send commands to the instrument and read the answer.

The code is released under GNU GPLv3 license, so feel free to download, edit and redistribute it.
