Also, consistently use 'ch' for channel variables. This matches how we
consistently use sdi, devc, and so on all over the code-base.
This fixes parts of bug #259.
The name 'probe' (and thus 'probe group') is a relic from the times when
sigrok was mostly about logic analyzers. Nowadays we support a lot more
device types where 'probe' is not really a good term and 'channel' is
much better suited.
This fixes parts of bug #259.
Instead of >= 44 Makefile.am's we now only have one top-level
Makefile.am, and use the 'subdir-objects' automake option to
handle the build via non-recursive (auto)make.
This has the advantage of fewer (boilerplate or other) files and less
clutter in general, as well as performance advantages since the new
setup can build many files in parallel (with 'make -j'), not only 2 or 3
files within the same (e.g. hardware/xxxx/* subdirectory) and also since
we no longer need to build intermediate libtool helper libs per subdirectory.
A quick, non-scientific test build on a quad-core laptop with 'make -j 4'
yields a build time reduction from 35s to 19s.
All autotools features that worked before are still intact without any
regressions, including the Make targets 'install', 'uninstall', 'check',
'dist', 'clean', 'distclean' and so on, as well as all the usual portability
handling (build works on any OS, with any Make implementation such as
GNU Make or BSD Make, with any shell such as sh/ksh/zsh/bash/dash, etc. etc.)
and features such as out-of-tree build support, cross-compile support,
testsuite support (also with colored output), "silent make rules", etc. etc.
We have to wait a bit longer than 1s for a valid DMM packet to arrive,
since for various DMMs some modes (Hz/% for example) the packets will
arrive a lot less often than in other modes. If the waiting period is
too short detection of the DMM will fail.
This DMM is not using the standard bits in the FS9922 protocol/structure
to indicate the "volt" and "diode mode" flags. Instead, it only sets the
user-defined bit "z1" to indicate both "diode mode" and "volt".
This fixes#142.
The Tecpel DMM-8060 was added since we assumed it would be a rebadged
Voltcraft VC-820 (since we know the Tecpel DMM-8061 is a rebadged VC-840).
However, according to the vendor webpage it doesn't have PC connectivity
at all, so drop it for now (until someone can confirm that it does or does
not actually have RS232/USB connectivity).
The per-driver API calls no longer have a hw_ prefix (e.g. hw_init()
became init() and so on), so drop the 'hw_' from the std versions
for those API callbacks too.
