Optionally create multiple analog channels in serial-dmm's scan()
routine. Allow the meters' parse routines to fill in more than one
analog value from the inspection of a single packet.
Use "large" (4 times 14 bytes) packets for the Metex M-3860M and the
PeakTech 4390A meters, and have those large packets parsed by wrapping
the routines for regular 14-byte Metex packets, and sending four values
to the session bus after reception of one large packet.
Thanks to Frank Stettner <frank-stettner@gmx.net> for testing and
fixing the initial implementation of this extension.
Move the initial assignment to the 'offset' variable to the very spot
where it gets evaluated and subsequently manipulated.
Replace a DIY copy loop with the corresponding memmove(3) call.
Since Autoconf places some important feature flags only into the
configuration header, it is necessary to include it globally to
guarantee a consistent build.
Move the include flags for files in the source tree from
configure.ac to Makefile.am where they belong. Also use
AM_CPPFLAGS instead of CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS to make sure the
files in the build/source tree are always picked up first.
Also, remove the include/libsigrok sub-directory from the
search path, thereby making the <libsigrok/> prefix mandatory
when building libsigrok itself. This matches the convention
already imposed on users of the library.
- Don't #include <errno.h> in files that don't actually need it.
- Don't use strerror() on error codes from functions that don't set
errno. Replace strerror() with sr_strerror() for libsigrok functions.
The Brymen BM25x series supports the BC-20X that is an opto-isolated
serial cable. The link seems to be unidirectional i.e. when activated
the DMM periodically sends updates to the host while the host cannot
control the DMM in any way.
The protocol is documented in "6000-count-digital-multimeters-r1.pdf"
that is available from the manufacturer. Every 15 byte packet consists
of a bitmap where the bits correspond to segments or symbols on the
LCD display i.e. the DMM essentially sends the contents of its screen
to the host in every update. This driver then decodes the measured
quantity, unit and its value from the bitmap.
