This patch only adds the needed infrastructure to control output
frequency in the same manner as output voltage or current limit. This
does require a new field in the channel_spec struct, for the sake of
symmetry.
Only the capabilities which map directly to SCPI commands supported by
sigrok are implemented at this time. This is sufficient to control
the most often used functionality of this AC source
If the number and specs of the device's channels are not static, i.e.
need to be probed, this facility is needed.
Initially this will be used for the Philips PM2800 series, where only
the model returned by *IDN? is needed. However this could also be used
to do actual discovery with vendor-specific SCPI commands.
At least the Rigol DP800 series trigger the beeper when changing
channels remotely. Which gets rather annoying when doing acquisition
on three channels as fast as you can.
Every driver now publishes its device option config keys, i.e. the
list fetched with sr_config_list(SR_CONF_DEVICE_OPTIONS), with a
set of flags indicating which methods are implemented by the driver
for that key.
The config keys are OR'ed with any combination of SR_CONF_GET,
SR_CONF_SET and SR_CONF_LIST. These are defined as the high bits
of the uint32_t config key. Clients can OR config keys with
SR_CONF_MASK to strip out these bits. This mask will be kept up to
date if other bits are added to the capabilities list; clients MUST
therefore use SR_CONF_MASK for this.
Some keys don't have capability bits added, such as the informative
device type keys (SR_CONF_MULTIMETER, SR_CONF_OSCILLOSCOPE, ...) and
SR_CONF_CONTINUOUS.
Scan options do not have capabilities bits.
