the HMC8043 completes my all-LAN all-SCPI setup! to celebrate, I wrote a script that loads a few useful voltage/current configurations without having to fiddle with the front panel controls

@nnnilabs Yay HMC804x. I love my HMC8042s.

My only complaints:

* After ~10 years in service the white LEDs are wearing out, the most common settings I typically leave them on are super dim while if I change to an oddball configuration they get really bright. I was offered an RMA to swap the LEDs but haven't wanted to take them out of service to do it

* The firmware is a little slow, I wish I could get more updates per second over Ethernet

@nnnilabs (also there is a basic driver in ngscopeclient although I don't think it exposes all of the feature set in the API currently)

@azonenberg oh that's actually useful information for me, I bought this second-hand and was wondering why some of the button LEDs were dimmer than the others... have you tried replacing them?
