how to set path to visa driver #52
Description
I am trying out Lantz, but it fails with a timeout when accessing my instrument.
When using pyvisa it works but I have to set the path to the visa driver in the resource manager. How do I tell Lantz which visa driver to use?
Or in other words: No documentation exists (or I cannot find it) to specify in Lantz the path to the driver that pyvisa should use.

Oops, found out that timeout was caused by wrong command. replacing '?IDN' with '*IDN?' solved the timeout.
However still do not know how to specify a specific visa driver, for example the NI-Visa one or the Agilent visa driver.

The easiest way is just to define it in
.pyvisarcas discussed here Lantz will honor that. We will add an option to do it in Lantz later.
