  Description     : User tools for GPIB devices

I intend to package the user-space parts of linux-gpib. GPIB (IEEE 
488.2) is a parallel bus that is used
in e.g. digital multimeters or logic analyzers. Those can be chained 
together and then be queried via commands sent
from a controller. The kernel parts are currently being upstreamed and 
are in staging; the userspace bits provide a library,
documentation, python bindings and tools to interface with GPIB devices.

best,
