This allows a frontend to initialize a session file, providing the
required samplerate and probe names, without having a proper
struct sr_dev_inst handy.
sr_session_append() is then used to add captured data to the session
file, as usual.
The existing sr_session_save() function works the same way as always.
Most messages from the DMM parsers are not hard errors, lower to
sr_dbg() so that the sigrok-cli output doesn't get cluttered (by default)
with debug output such as:
P1: 0.001100 V DC AUTO
sr: fs9721: Sync nibble in byte 0 (0x00) is invalid.
P1: 0.001100 V DC AUTO
(using -l 4 or -l 5 will still allow the user to see such messages)
The sample buffer is a still a bit of a mystery, but this should help.
The variables in play:
triggerbar/ramsize_trigger - These two variables added together indicate
how many samples we want captured. ramsize_trigger - triggerbar
indicades how many samples must be captured. The ratio between the two
is determined by capture ratio.
memory_size - This indicates the number of samples in the circular
capture buffer. stop_address, now_address, and trigger_address are
pointers within the zeroplus that wrap based on this size.
now_address - The address that the zeroplus was about to write to when
it finished capturing, and now the address that will be read from when
reads are done from the capture buffer
stop_address - The address that the zeroplus last wrote to when it
completed capture.
trigger_address - The sample address for which the trigger occured.
status - This one is a bit tricky. Some testing has shown that if the
zeroplus has captured memory_size or less samples, the STATUS_READY bit
is set. For all captures generated with more samples than this,
STATUS_READY was cleared. However, boundary conditions are difficult to
test and values such as, memory_size + 1 have not been tested. We use
this to determine if the capture has wrapped through the sample buffer.
More testing is required, but this improves behavior in a number of
cases, specifically capturing sample amounts that are not a power of 2
of the sample buffer size. Before, random data was passed to libsigrok.

Experimentation with the windows driver has found no situation where
this is set to anything other than 1. The zerominus software also never
sets this to anything other than one. Revert the code change made in
0ab0cb942f.

If there is no trigger, don't try to capture anything before it. There
won't be any because we trigger immediately.

This will need some additional work when support is added for compression
modes since group D is disabled for RLE compression and C and D are
disabled for "double" compression.

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.
