13.2.1 mlbert¶
This driver is intended to connect via the scopehal-mlbert-bridge server for network transparency and does not directly link to the MultiLANE SDK or talk directly to the instrument. The bridge requires a Windows PC since MultiLANE’s SDK is Windows only, however the libscopehal clientside driver can run on any supported OS.
It was developed using a ML4039-BTP but may work with other similar models as well.
