I'll do the talk-over in the coming week.

If you are familiar with the National Instruments / LabVIEW Virtual Instruments paradigm: I'm trying to stay as close as possible to that.
I've been doing that for all SCPI compatible instruments I made on element14. It allows that the average skilled LabVIEW designer can use it.

All blocks that control or poll the instrument have a familiar representation. And there is a tree view that lists the available blocks. You could see this as a one page API overview.

I've used it to build flows with Tektronic, Keithley and Rigol instruments. Scopes and power supplies.
When I designed the e14 DC Load I used the same approach. Similar for the driver I made for the MultiComp PRO waveform generator.
I haven't seen a better form of abstraction for instrument control yet. An abstraction that doesn't block you from any lower level.

A little trick for efficient start of a debug session:

In Eclipse, you can show all Launch Configurations in a window, via Window -> Show View. This allows you fast access to start your particular config.
If you right-click it and select debug, it 'll build the binary, deploy it on the target and start it with remote GDB Server.
This saves a few memory and dialog navigations and immediately gets you in a debug session.

First instrument query completed: Get sensitivity of a channel.

Not for the faint-at-heart ;)

Remotely debugging 2 Linux services in Eclipse at the same time:

Communication of the raw instrument service is working. I just coded an echo and you can see below that the request is echo-ed back to the test terminal:
