Environment variables

Defined in the server's official registry manifest. Required secrets are shown as <YOUR_…> placeholders in the configs above.

RIGOL_RESOURCE required — VISA resource string for connecting to the oscilloscope (e.g., 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.100::inst0::INSTR').
VISA_TIMEOUT — Communication timeout in milliseconds
RIGOL_BEEPER_ENABLED — Enable or disable oscilloscope beeper sounds
RIGOL_TEMP_DIR required — Host-side path for returned file paths. The container writes to /tmp/rigol internally and translates paths to this value in responses. Must match the host path in your -v mount. Required for Docker usage.
