try on your machine
This command is used to send a SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) query to a device at a specific IP address. Here is a breakdown of the command:
lxi scpi: This indicates that we are using the LXI (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) protocol to communicate with the device and send SCPI commands.--address ${ip_address}: This specifies the IP address of the device we want to communicate with. The${ip_address}is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual IP address."${*IDN?}": This is the SCPI command we want to send to the device. In this case, it is${*IDN?}which is a commonly used command to query the device's identification information.
Overall, this command establishes a connection to a device at a specific IP address using the LXI protocol and sends a SCPI command to query the device's identification information.
