What is HiSLIP?

High-Speed LAN Instrument Protocol (HiSLIP) was developed by the IVI Foundation and is optionally recommended for fast control of LXI instruments as described in the LXI HiSLIP Extended Function specification.

Implements IEEE-488.2

Similar to GPIB and VXI-11 protocols, HiSLIP includes implementation of the IEEE 488.2 communications protocol. HiSLIP includes more IEEE 488.2 protocol features than VXI-11, and provides closer GPIB-like functionality over the LAN network. HiSLIP is supported by various versions of the VISA I/O library.

Supports IPv4 and IPv6

HiSLIP has been developed to support both IPv4 and IPv6 Ethernet networks, making it transparent to the Internet Protocol (IP) layer.
