Since the DER EE DE-5000 driver is currently the only user of
the es51919 module and it depends on the libserialport, compile
the module only if the DER EE DE-5000 driver is enabled. This
allows libsigrok to be built without libserialport again.
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.
Add a driver for the DER EE DE-5000 LCR meter. This meter is based on
the Cyrustek ES51919/ES51920 chipset and communicates with the host
computer via an optional connectivity kit.
The kit uses an optoisolated unidirectional link to connect to the
meter and an USB cable on the host side. Internally the connection is
using the FTDI FT232R USB UART chip i.e. from the host computer point
of view the meter is connected into an RS-232 serial port.
This driver implements just a thin shim layer for registering the
driver and uses the es51919 module for all the actual work.
Add a protocol decoder for the Cyrustek ES51919 LCR meter chip.
This chipset (together with ES51920 front-end) is supposedly used
by multiple different portable LCR meters including at least
DER EE DE-5000, Yihua V&A VA520, Mastech MS5308, Uni-T UT612,
CEM DT-9935 and various OEM rebadges of them.
The communication protocol seems to be implemented on the Cyrustek
chip itself so all the different models are expected to use the
same protocol if they implement a host connection. Unfortunately
the protocol is not available in the public documentation of the
chipset, so this implementation is based on reverse engineering it
from traffic captures.
The actual connection between the meter and the host computer may be
different from meter to meter even when based on the same chip. This
module implements a decoder for the protocol and some common helper
functions for interfacing with the meter via an RS-232 serial port.
Add flags for indicating that the meter has selected the measured
quantitiy and/or the used measurement model automatically. These
are similar to the existing auto-range flag.
Add 'SR_MQ_DIFFERENCE' quantity for reporting relative difference
between the current measurement and the reference value. The value
of this quantity will normally be reported in percents. Add also
the flag 'SR_MQFLAG_REFERENCE' for indicating that the reported
value is not the current measurement but the reference value instead.
Add parallel and serial model inductance, capacitance and resistance
for LCR meter measurements. Add also secondary quantities many LCR
meters calculate, namely dissipation factor, quality factor and phase
angle.
Add degrees and henrys to the list of supported units. Degree is
an unit of plane angle where one degree is 1/360th of a full circle.
Henry is the SI unit of inductance.
Prior to this patch a call to get() with an invalid enumeration value
would raise an exception that would, for example, terminate the python
interpreter, whereas now the exception is handled and translated into a
proper python exception.
This calculates a proper timeout value for blocking writes on the
given serial port, for the given number of bytes. Timeout is based
on a fixed 10ms OS overhead, baud rate, data bits and stop bits.
