NIST VISA library bindings

This crate provides a safe wrapper around the NIST VISA library.
It is designed to be as simple to use as possible.

To build, you will need the VISA_DIR environment variable set to the location of the VISA library. For example C:\\Program Files\\IVI Foundation\\VISA\\Win64

Examples

Here is a simple example that searches for available local devices:

use libvisa::{error::Error, ResourceManager};

fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
    // Open the resource manager and search for a matching device
    let manager = ResourceManager::new()?;
    let matches = manager.search("?*")?;

    println!("Found devices:");
    for device in matches {
        println!("  {}", device);
    }

    Ok(())
}
