This looks remarkably similar to the one Tech Tangents (twitch/youtube) has hooked up to GPIB with Python tooling for automating cap reforming. Pretty sure he has VGA type capture working too, so he can hook it in to OBS for his streams (and overlays the Python automation via a web page).

Mine (I run Tech Tangents) is a 16500C and the interface is basically identical. The problem with remote access for these is that they draw traces to the screen using direct framebuffer access rather than X11 calls meaning you can't see them remotely. So the best you can do send them commands remotely and read the numerical results. That's why I went the VGA capture route.
