1. Installation

Installing ds1054z is dead simple if you can use pip to install Python packages:

pip install ds1054z[savescreen,discovery]

The package depends on python-vxi11 for the communication with the scope. It should automatically get installed along with ds1054z.

By specifying savescreen and discovery in square brackets after the package name, you’re asking pip to install the requirements for those extras as well:

• savescreen makes it possible to use the save-screen action with the CLI tool. (Pillow will get installed)
• discovery: To be able to automatically discover the IP address of the scope on your local network, this extra will install zeroconf.

If you don’t have access to pip , the installation might be a bit more tricky. Please let me know how this can be done on your favorite platform and I will add this information here.
