Enable the compile time option which builds trigger support code into
the asix-sigma driver. This is a development hack. Trigger support in
the driver is incomplete and currently not operational.
Address remaining data type nits. Use more appropriate types for sizes
and counters and indices, as well as for booleans.
Prefer more verbose variable names in a few spots to avoid the rather
generic 'i' symbol, especially in complex code paths with deeply nested
flow control or with long distances between declaration and use. Re-use
an existing buffer in the acquisition start for command sequences which
setup trigger in/out as well as clock parameters.
Introduce some variables which may seem unnecessary. But these are
useful for research during maintenance.
This is a mechanical adjustment, behaviour does not change.
Introduce the required infrastructure to store successfully applied
configuration data in hardware registers. This lets the probe phase of
the next sigrok session pick up where the previous session left. Which
improves usability, and increases performance by eliminating delays in
the acquisition start, by not repeating unnecessary firmware uploads.
The vendor documentation suggests there would be FPGA registers that are
available for application use ("plugin configuration"). Unfortunately
experiments show that registers beyond address 0x0f don't hold the data
which was written to them. As do unused registers in the first page. So
the desirable feature is not operational in this implementation. There
could be different netlist versions which I'm not aware of, or there
could be flaws in this driver implementation. This needs more attention.
Stop assuming that C language variables whould have a specific memory
layout that applications could rely on. Use normal data types in higher
abstraction layers, drop non-portable bit fields. Use existing macros
for the creation of bit masks of a given width.
Eliminate doubt from a comment on ASIX SIGMA's channel names which was
introduced in commit d261dbbfcc. Publicly available documentation does
agree their names start at "1" and go up to "16".
The 50MHz netlist supports the use of an external clock. Any of the 16
channels can use any of its edges to have another sample taken from all
the other pins. It's nice that the hardware does track timestamps, which
results in an exact reproduction of the input signals' timing with 20ns
resolution, although the clock is externally provided and need not have
a fixed rate.
Rephrase more parts of sigma_build_basic_trigger() to closer match the
vendor documentation. Use the M3Q name. Be explicit about "parameters"
setup (even if that means to assign zero values, comments help there).
Using three BE16 items for the parameters improves readability.
Rephrase the sigma_build_basic_trigger() and build_lut_entry() routines
to hopefully improve readability. Avoid the use of short and generic
identifiers which are just too easy to confuse with each other and the
1 literal and negation operator in deeply nested loops and complex
expressions that span several text lines. Reduce indentation where
appropriate. Concentrate initialization and use of variables such that
reviewers need less context for verification.
This is a purely mechanical change, the function of triggers remains
untested for now. Setting "selres" in that spot is suspicious, too.
Rephrase the sigma_write_trigger_lut() routine to work on "a higher
level" of abstraction. Avoid short and most of all generic variable
names. Use identifiers that are closer to the vendor documentation.
Reduce the probability of errors during maintenance, and also increase
readability. Replace open coded nibble extraction and bit positions by
accessor helpers and symbolic identifiers. Adjust existing math where it
did not match the vendor documentation. Always communicate 8bit register
addresses, don't assume that application use remains within a specific
"page". Provide more FPGA register access primitives so that call sites
need not re-invent FPGA command sequence construction. Remove remaining
open coded endianess conversion in DRAM access.
The 100/200MHz supporting FPGA netlists differ in their register set
from 50MHz netlists. Adjust the parameter download at acquisition start.
Raise awareness of the "TriggerSelect" and "TriggerSelect2" difference
(the former only exists in 50MHz netlists, the latter's meaning differs
between firmware variants). "ClockSelect" semantics also differs between
netlists. Stop sending four bytes to a register that is just one byte
deep, channel selection happened to work by mere coincidence.
Eliminate a few more magic numbers, unobfuscate respective code paths.
Though some questions remain (trigger related, not a blocker for now,
needs to get addressed later).
Make the list of supported samplerates an internal detail of the
protocol.c source file. Have the api.c source file retrieve the list
as well as the currently configured value by means of query routines.
Ideally the current rate could get retrieved from hardware at runtime.
A future driver implementation could do that. This version sticks with
the lowest supported rate, as in the previous version.
Sort "semi public" routines and "global data" of the asix-sigma driver
in the protocol.h header file by their use. Add comments. This improves
maintenance of the driver source.
Move all of the FTDI connection handling from api.c to protocol.c, and
prepare "forced" and "optional" open/close. This allows future driver
code to gracefully handle situations where FPGA registers need to get
accessed, while the caller may be inside or outside the "opened" period
of the session. This is motivated by automatic netlist type and sample
rate detection, to avoid the cost of repeated firmware uploads.
Detect more error conditions, and unbreak those code paths where wrong
data was forwarded. It's essential to tell the USB communication layer,
sigrok API error codes, and glib mainloop receive callbacks apart. Since
the compiler won't notice, maintainers have to be extra careful.
Rephrase diagnostics messages. The debug and spew levels are intended
for developers, but the error/warn/info levels will get presented to
users, should read more fluently and speak from the application's POV.
Allow long text lines in source code, to not break string literals which
users will report and developers need to search for (this matches Linux
kernel coding style).
This commit also combines the retrieval of sample memory fill level,
trigger position, and status flags. Since these values span an adjacent
set of FPGA registers. Which reduces USB communication overhead, and
simplifies error handling. The helper routine considers the retrieval
of each of these values as optional from the caller's perspective, to
simplify other use cases (mode check during acquisition, before sample
download after acquisition has stopped).
INIT pin sensing after PROG pin pulsing was reworked, to handle the
technicalities of the FTDI chip and its USB communication and the FTDI
library which is an external dependency of this device driver. Captures
of USB traffic suggest that pin state is communicated at arbitrary times.
Address minor style nits to improve readability and simplify review. The
sizeof() expressions need not duplicate data type details. Concentrate
the assignment to, update of, and evaluation of variables in closer
proximity to reduce potential for errors during maintenance. Separate
the gathering of input data and the check for their availability from
each other, to simplify expressions and better reflect the logic's flow.
Further "flatten" the DRAM layout's declaration for sample data. Declare
timestamps and sample data as uint16_t, keep accessing them via endianess
aware conversion routines. Accessing a larger integer in smaller quantities
is perfectly fine, the inverse direction would be problematic.
Keep application data in its logical presentation in C language struct
fields. Explicitly convert to raw byte streams by means of endianess
aware conversion helpers. Don't assume a specific memory layout for
C language variables any longer. This improves portability, and
reliability of hardware access across compiler versions and build
configurations.
This change also unobfuscates the "disabled channels" arithmetics in
the sample rate dependent logic. Passes read-only pointers to write
routines. Improves buffer size checks. Reduces local buffer size for
DRAM reads. Rewords comments on "decrement then subtract 64" during
trigger/stop position gathering. Unobfuscates access to sample data
after download (timestamps, and values). Covers a few more occurances
of magic numbers for memory organization.
Prefer masks over shift counts for hardware register bit fields, to
improve consistency of the declaration block and code instructions.
Improve maintenability of the LA mode initiation after FPGA netlist
configuration (better match written data and read-back expectation,
eliminate magic literals that are hidden in nibbles).
Move the 'devc' parameter to the front in routine signatures for the
remaining locations which were not adjusted yet. Reduce indentation of
continuation lines, especially in long routine signatures. Try to not
break string literals in diagnostics messages, rephrase some of the
messages. Massage complex formulae for the same reason.
Whitespace changes a lot, word positions move on text lines. See a
corresponding whitespace ignoring and/or word diff for the essence of
the change.
The driver got extended in a previous commit to accept any hardware
supported samplerate in the setter API, although the list call does
suggest a discrete set of rates (a subset of the hardware capabilities).
Update a comment to catch up with the implementation.
Drop the 250kHz item, it's too close to 200kHz. Add a 2MHz item to
achieve a more consistent 1/2/5 sequence in each decade. Unfortunately
50MHz and an integer divider will never result in 20MHz, that's why
25MHz is an exception to this rule (has been before, just "stands out
more perceivably" in this adjusted sequence).
Running several firmware uploads in quick repetition sometimes failed.
It's essential to stop the active netlist from preventing the FPGA's
getting reconfigured (FTDI to FPGA pins are so few, and shared). Delays
in a single iteration of the initiation sequence improves reliability.
Retries of the sequence are belt and suspenders on top of that.
Before the change, failure to configure was roughly one in ten. After
the change, several thousand reconfigurations passed without failure.
Use symbolic identifiers to select firmware images, which eliminates
magic 0/1/2 position numbers in the list of files, improves readability
and also improves robustness. Move 'devc' to 'ctx' and before other
arguments in routine signatures while we are here.
FPGA configuration (netlist upload) of ASIX SIGMA devices is rather
special a phase, and deserves its own state in the device context's
"state" tracking. Not only is the logic analyzer not available during
this period, the FTDI cable is also put into bitbanging mode instead
of regular data communication in FIFO mode, and netlist configuration
takes a considerable amount of time (tenths of a second).
Use common support for SW limits, and untangle the formerly convoluted
logic for sample count or time limits. Accept user provided samplerate
values when the hardware supports them, also those which are not listed.
The previous implementation mapped sample count limits to timeout specs
which depend on the samplerate. The order of applications' calls into
the config set routines is unspecified, the use of one common storage
space led to an arbitrary resulting value for the msecs limit, and loss
of user specified values for read-back.
Separate the input which was specified by applications, from limits
which were derived from this input and determine the acquisition phase's
duration, from sample count limits which apply to sample data download
and session feed submission after the acquisition finished. This allows
to configure the values in any order, to read back previously configured
values, and to run arbitrary numbers of acquisition and download cycles
without losing input specs.
This commit also concentrates all the limits related computation in a
single location at the start of the acquisition. Moves the submission
buffer's count limit container to the device context where the other
limits are kept as well. Renames the samplerate variable, and drops an
aggressive check for supported rates (now uses hardware constraints as
the only condition). Removes an unused variable in the device context.
Introduce a 4MiB session feed submission buffer in the device context.
This reduces the number of API calls and improves performance of srzip
archive creation.
This change also eliminates complex logic which manipulates a previously
created buffer's length and data position, to split the queued data when
a trigger position was involed. The changed implementation results in a
data flow from sample memory to the session feed which feels more natural
during review, and better lends itself to future trigger support code.
Use common SW limits support for the optional sample count limit. Move
'sdi' and 'devc' parameters to the front to match conventions. Reduce
indentation in routine signatures while we are here.
This implementation is prepared to handle trigger positions, but for now
disables the specific logic which checks for trigger condition matches
to improve the trigger marker's resolution. This will get re-enabled in
a later commit.
Add more symbolic identifiers, and rename some of the existing names for
access to SIGMA sample memory. This eliminates magic numbers and reduces
redundancy and potential for errors during maintenance.
This commit also concentrates DRAM layout related declarations in the
header file in a single location, which previously were scattered, and
separated registers from their respective bit fields.
Extend comments on the difference of events versus sample data.
Move the FPGA commands (which can access registers, and sample memory)
declarations before the register layout declaration. Which then no
longer separates the registers declarations from their bit fields.
Update comments on the register set while we are here.
Eliminate a few magic numbers in FPGA commands, use symbolic identifiers
for automatic register address increments, and DRAM access bank selects.
Improve grouping of related declarations in the header file.
Slightly rephrase and comment on the FPGA configuration of the ASIX
SIGMA logic analyzer. Use symbolic pin names to eliminate magic numbers.
Concentrate FPGA related comments in a single spot, tell the Xilinx FPGA
from FTDI cable (uses bitbang mode for slave serial configuration).
This fixes typos in the PROG pulse and INIT check (tests D5 and comments
on D6). Also removes the most probably undesired 100s timeout in the
worst case (100M us, 10K iterations times 10ms delay). Obsoletes labels
for error paths. Drops a few empty lines to keep related instruction
blocks together. Includes other style nits.
Stick with the FTDI library for data acquisition, and most of all for
firmware upload (bitbang is needed during FPGA configuration). Removing
this dependency is more complex, and needs to get addressed later.
Re-use common USB support during scan before open, which also allows to
select devices if several of them are connected. Either of "conn=vid.pid"
or "conn=bus.addr" formats are supported and were tested.
This implementation detects and displays SIGMA and SIGMA2 devices. Though
their function is identical, users may want to see the respective device
name. Optionally detect OMEGA devices, too (compile time option, off by
default), though they currently are not supported beyond detection. They
just show up during scans for ASIX logic analyzers, and users may want to
have them listed, too, for awareness.
This implementation also improves robustness when devices get disconnected
between scan and use. The open and close routines now always create the
FTDI contexts after the code has moved out of the scan phase, where common
USB support code is used.
This resolves bug #841.
Eliminate an unnecessary magic number for the maximum filename length of
SIGMA netlists. Use a more compact source code phrase to "unclutter" the
list of filenames and their features/purpose. Move the filesize limit to
the list of files to simplify future maintenance.
The UT32x driver requires a user spec for the connection. The device
cannot get identified, that's why successful open/close for the port
will suffice. Lack of an input spec as well as failure in the early
scan phase will terminate the scan routine early.
When we reach the end of the scan which creates the device instance
and registers it with the list of found devices, the port already
is closed and the list of devices will never be empty. Remove the
redundant close call and the dead branch which frees the serial port.

Changing triggers (e.g. from low to high) would sometimes cause the
acquisition to seemingly "hang" due to missing variable initializations
(in reality the device would wait for incorrect triggers and/or on
incorrect channels).
This fixes bug #1535.
Prefer the common conversion helper for little endian 16bit signed data.
The previous local implementation only worked for positive values, and
yielded incorrect results for negative temperatures.
This fixes bug #1463.
Since we've now seen lots of devices in the wild that come with the
"HCS-" prefix in the ID, it's probably safe to assume all of them
could have it.
This fixes bug #1530.
The previous implementation got stuck in an infinite loop when data
acquisition started, but the device got disconnected before the data
acquisition terminates. An implementation detail ignored communication
errors, and never saw the expected condition that was required to
continue in the sample download sequence. Unbreak that code path.
Even though the devices/websites/manuals usually say 0..30V, the
hardware actually accepts up to 31V, both via serial as well as by
simply rotating the knob on the device (and our driver already
reflects that).
The same is true for current, it's usually 0..5A as per docs, but many
(probably all) devices accept 5.1A via serial and knob.
Thus, set the max current of all devices to 5.1A (or 3.1A for 3A
devices). We're assuming they all have this property, and we've seen
this in practice on at least three different versions of the device.
On a recently acquired Korad KA3005P power supply, the ID supplied by the
device is not known by libsigrok.
$ sigrok-cli --driver=korad-kaxxxxp:conn=/dev/ttyACM0 --scan
sr: korad-kaxxxxp: Unknown model ID 'KORAD KA3005P V4.2' detected, aborting.
This fixes bug #1522.
Thanks to bitaround@gmail.com for the amperage fix.
The DMMs report as an event to which mode the user switched (by turning the
rotary switch): "*0", "*1", etc.
Most other DMMs have few modes, but the U127x DMMs have up to 11 different
modes (i.e., "*10" is a valid event).
Add a comment on the logic which skips the upper 64 bytes of a 512 bytes
chunk in the Asix Sigma's sample memory. Move the initial assignment and
the subsequent update from a value which was retrieved from a hardware
register closer together for awareness during maintenance. Pre-setting a
high position value that will never match when the feature is not in use
is very appropriate.
Adjust the sigma_read_pos() routine to handle triggerpos identically to
stoppos. The test condition's intention is to check whether a decrement
of the position ends up in the meta data section of a chunk. The previous
implementation tested whether a pointer to the position variable ended in
0x1ff when decremented -- which is unrelated to the driver's operation.
It's assumed that no harm was done because the trigger feature is
unsupported (see bug #359).
This silences the compiler warning reported in bug #1411.
The handler for fluke 18x and 28x DMMs allocates several data
structures on the stack that are used after they have been freed when
creating a data feed packet.
Restructure the code so that all handlers send their own packets. As a
bonus, this avoid a couple of small heap allocations.
By separating the variables that holds the get and set values, the output
state, OVP and OCP can now be set while the acquisition is running.
Also some variables are named more clearly.
The communication with the rdtech power supplies is not very reliable,
especially during the start. Because of that, the driver tries to read the
modbus registers up to three times.
Nevertheless there is the chance, that the communication fails.
Introduce quirks support for devices which provide incomplete metadata.
Add conservative logic to unbreak the Logic Shrimp. Amend previously
received information when it was incomplete, but don't interfere if a
future firmware version fixes the issue.
Without this change, the device gets detected but "has zero channels"
and would be unusable. Because when a device provides metadata, these
details are used exclusively, no fallbacks apply.
The Mooshimeter driver uses mem*() and str*() library calls. Include the

This adds support for the Mooshim Engineering BLE based Mooshimeter.
Because the meter requires raw BLE packets, the driver uses the BLE
layer directly. Since the meter has no physical way of configuring it,
the actual configuration is set entirely with sigrok device options.
This adds basic support for the Rigol MSO5000 series. It has
the same problems as the DS4000 series: Live capture provides
one digital channel per byte. Buffered memory returns the data
compressed (one byte has 8 digital channels), but the banks are
read separately. It's not possible to read uint16.
Introduce the lcr/vc4080.c source file which implements the parser for
the serial data stream of the Voltcraft 4080 LCR meter. Add the meter to
the list of supported devices in the serial-lcr driver, as well as the
PeakTech 2165 LCR meter which is another compatible device.
This implementation contains a workaround for USB based serial cables
which seem to suffer from incomplete parity handling (observed with the
FT232R based PeakTech cable). Similar approaches were seen in existing
DMM drivers.
This implementation supports the main and secondary displays. The D and Q
"displays" which are communicated in the serial packets appear unreliable
and redundant, users can have the D and Q values shown in the supported
displays.
Commit cb5cd1538f introduced packet request support in the serial-lcr
device driver. Calls were added to the detection of the device's
presence, and the periodic acquisition of measurement data. Add another
call to the device configuration retrieval that follows the presence
detection, without it communication timed out with no data received.
Also slightly raise the timeout for this device configuration gathering
phase. With one second sharp, the VC4080 was detected, but getting its
current configuration kept failing. This device's serial communication
is extra slow (1200 bps) and the packets are rather large (39 bytes).
Which made the stream detect's receive routine stop checking for the
availability of more data while a packet was being received.
Move the initial device probe (LCR packet validity check), the creation
of the device instance after successful probe, and the subsequent packet
inspection after resource allocation out of the scan routine. This shall
improve readability of the serial-lcr driver's probe logic, and reduces
diffs when handling of multiple connections gets added later.
Add a developer comment, the serial-lcr driver needs to handle multiple
connections when the conn= spec is ambiguous (multiple cables of the
same type, with the same VID:PID).
According to the latest available version of the manual, as
for the RTB2000 and RTM3000 series, the RTA4000 series also
uses a slightly different dialect than other previously
supported models, in particular when it comes to the POD
(logic channel groups) handling.
I do not have such model available for testing therefore, as
for the RTB2000 and RTM3000 support recently introduced, I do
not know whether or not the RTA4000 also understands the
existing dialect. In doubt, the new official dialect is
implemented by this patch.
According to the latest available version of the manual, they
both use a slightly different dialect than currently supported
models, in particular when it comes to the POD (logic channel
groups) handling.
I do not have any of the above models available for testing
therefore I do not know whether or not they also understand
the existing dialect. In doubt, the new official dialect is
implemented by this patch.
Update the oscilloscope state with new settings only after
they have been successfully stored in the device to avoid
an inconsistent state in case of SCPI SET command failure.
The hameg-hmo driver returns an incorrect sample rate: to reproduce this
bug, set the maximum sample rate from the ACQUIRE menu.
This patch fixes the driver so that the correct sample rate is returned.
During the initial configuration phase of the hameg-hmo driver
only send an OPC command if a SCPI command has been previously
sent to the device so that bogus SCPI timeouts are avoided.
The current starting index for the POD name is currently wrong as it is zero.
The official POD numbering starts instead at 1 (see device panel, buttons
and manual), so the current index used for message printing and groups
naming in the driver needs to be incremented by one.
Avoid double memory freeing leading to segmentation fault in when a SCPI
command fails to get a string due conditions such as a timeout or an invalid
command.
When setting the type of slope for the edge trigger function, also set the
trigger type to edge because it is not necessarily configured that way and
therefore such functionality might fail to work properly!
This fixes parts of bug #1328.
Update the Hameg/Rohde&Schwarz HMO driver (hameg-hmo) so that it
is possible to configure the logic threshold for digital signals.
The user can get or set the logic threshold configuration using
the channel group POD0 (and/or POD1 where available), for example:
sigrok-cli --driver hameg-hmo --get logic_threshold -g POD0
sigrok-cli --driver hameg-hmo --config logic_threshold=TTL --set -g POD0
sigrok-cli --driver hameg-hmo --get logic_threshold_custom -g POD0
sigrok-cli --driver hameg-hmo --config logic_threshold_custom=0.7 --set -g POD0
Update the default serial port options for Rohde&Schwarz and
Hameg mixed-signal oscilloscope devices connected through USB.
Also, remove misplaced and unused serial port configuration option.
This patch complements fa3d104f17
in terms of updating the USB PIDs for new devices (HMO series).
This fixes parts of bug #1321.
At the moment only the maximum number of frames to be acquired can be
configured for the Hameg/Rohde&Schwarz HMO mixed-signal oscilloscope
series driver (hameg-hmo).
This patch adds support to configure the number of samples to acquire
in both analog and digital (logic) mode.
This patch introduces the support for 16 digital (logic) channels for the
following oscilloscope models: HMO3032, HMO3042, HMO3052 and HMO3522
(previously only 8 digital channels were supported, i.e. only 1 POD).
This patch takes care of removing an invalid product model (HMO2522)
and adds a missing product model (HMO3522) in the hameg-hmo driver,
thus extending the number of supported oscilloscope models.
This fixes bug #1322.
The trigger range/mask "compression" procedure is apparently not
required and breaks triggering on a low line state.
This has been verified to fix the issue on a Hantek 4032L with FPGA
version 0x4303. It is possible that the procedure mentioned above
might be required for other FPGA versions, though that is unknown.
If you experience trigger issues with other FPGA versions, please
contact us for further debugging and testing.
This fixes bug #1402.
Some meters require the reception of a request before they provide
acquisition data. Add support for the chip driver's .packet_request()
routine, and timeout handling in the serial-lcr driver. This follows
the serial-dmm model.
Allow LCR chip drivers to specify custom printf() formats for their
channel names. Default to "P1" etc in the absence of format specs.
This implementation is similar to serial-dmm.
Bug #1390 reports that "!desc" is always true (should be: false?). But
the actual problem would be that 'desc' is _not_ NULL when none of the
supported chips' VID:PID matched (FT232H happens to "get found" then,
erroneously).
Add a sentinel to the table of supported chips, such that 'desc' becomes
NULL upon mismatch, and the error path is entered.
The serial-dmm entry for Victor DMMs is able to communicate to either
geniune COM ports (RS232 or USB CDC) or the obfuscating USB HID cables.
The victor-dmm driver became obsolete and was removed. Rename the
serial-dmm entry, remove the no longer needed "-ser" suffix. Suggest a
default connection via the obfuscating USB HID cable, accept user
provided overrides for regular serial cables (same behaviour as before,
connection spec for serial ports keeps being mandatory).
Remove the victor-dmm device driver. Its functionality is contained in
the Victor specific serial-over-HID transport, the FS9922 DMM parser,
and the serial-dmm device driver. The additional implementation became
obsolete.
This undoes the essence of commit bf700f679a, which introduced the
default conn= spec. Which improved usability: Users just select the
device and need not specify the connection. But also resulted in the
UT32x thermometer driver's probe to "succeed" as soon as the WCH CH9325
chip was found, no data check was involved in the scan. Unfortunately
this chip is also used in the popular UT-D04 cable, and thus there were
many false positives.
Remove the src/hardware/brymen-bm86x/ hierarchy of source files. Its
functionality has moved to the bm86x packet parser and the serial-dmm
device driver.
Request packets from the Brymen BM86x meter much faster. The previous
implementation in the separate driver used to immediately send another
request when a measurement arrived, with a 10ms granularity in the poll
routine, and a 500ms timeout between requests.
Considering the meter's update rate, stick with the 500ms timeout, but
increase the maximum request rate to 10 per second, with a minimum of 2
per second. This receives measurement data at the meter's capability
(compare DC and AC modes, seems to automatically adjust to the internal
operation, and match the display update rate).
Move Brymen BM86x specific packet parse logic to a new src/dmm/bm86x.c
source file, and register the routines with the serial-dmm driver's list
of supported devices. Which obsoletes the src/hardware/brymen-bm86x/
hierarchy.
This implementation differs from the previous version: The parse routine
gets called multiple times after one DMM packet was received. Values for
the displays get extracted in separate invocations, the received packet
is considered read-only. Unsupported LCD segment combinations for digits
get logged. Low battery gets logged with higher severity -- the validity
of measurement values is uncertain after all. The parse routine uses
longer identifiers. Packet reception uses whichever serial transport is
available (need no longer be strictly USB HID nor libusb based). All
features of the previous implementation are believed to still be present
in this version.
This configuration queries measurement values each 0.5 seconds and
re-sends a not responded to request after 1.5 seconds. Which follows the
combination of the vendor's suggested flow (frequency) and the previous
implementation's timeout (3x 500ms). This implementation does not try to
re-connect to the HID device for each measurement, and neither checks
for the 4.0 seconds timeout (vendor's suggested flow). Local experiments
work without these.
The src/hardware/brymen-bm86x/ source code contains specific support for
the Brymen BM86x devices, and directly depends on the libusb library.
Rename the registered device (append the "-usb" suffix) before adding
BM86x support to the serial-dmm driver.
Some meters which are supported by the serial-dmm driver don't strictly
require the user's COM port specification. When a known (usually bundled,
or even builtin) cable type is used, we can provide a default conn= spec
and thus improve usability. Prepare the DMM_CONN() macro, accept user
overrides.
The 'conn' field in the device context and the CONN values in the
declarations of supported DMM models seemed inappropriate. They specify
the communication parameters (UART frame format and bitrate), not the
connection (port name). Adjust the respective identifiers.
Also rephrase the evaluation logic. Instead of checking for the absence
of user specs and optionally assigning a fallback value, just preset
from defaults and override from user specs when present. This simplifies
the logic (eliminates a check).
Keep the ES51919 chip support in the src/lcr/ directory, and move device
driver specific code to the src/hardware/serial-lcr/ directory. Implement
the same driver layout for LCR meters as is used for DMM devices.
This also addresses a few issues in the serial-lcr driver: Unbreak --get
and --show, do process a few LCR packets after probing the device, to
gather current parameter values. Keep sending meta packets when these
parameters change during acquisition, like the previous implementation
did. Use common code for frame/time limits.
Note that although LCR meters usually operate with AC to classify L/C/R
components, one of the officially supported modes is DC resistance.
Which means that an output frequency of 0 is not just a fallback when
packet parsing fails, it's also a regular value of the freq parameter.
List all supported frequencies including DC in strict numerical order.
Although all currently supported devices use the same ES51919 chip, the
implementation is prepared to support other devices which use different
LCR meter chips as well. The list of known equivalent circuit models and
output frequencies is kept in src/lcr/ chip support. It's assumed that
one LCR packet communicates the data for all channels/displays similar
to the serial-dmm driver implementation.
The serial communication timing parameters during probe get determined
from earlier serial port configuration, which obsoletes the redundant
'baudrate' parameter, and eliminates potential inconsistency between
user specified parameters and builtin default values.
