Store the most recent successfully applied set of parameters for serial
communication. Re-use these values as a fallback to calculate timeouts,
when the underlying transport fails to provide the current settings.
The src/hardware/ subdirectory exclusively contains device drivers these
days, while common support code has moved to the src/dmm/, src/lcr/,
src/scale/, etc directories or src/ itself. Adjust comments in the
libsigrok-internal.h declaration blocks which reference source files.
Add an "eevblog-121gw" subdriver entry for the EEVblog 121GW multimeter.
Use device dependent channel names instead of the default "P1" etc names.
It's assumed that the device's binary packet data is available at a COM
port. This means that an external BT to UART gateway is required until
BLE communication will be one of libsigrok's native connection types.
Introduce the dmm/eev121gw.c source file with parse routines for the
EEVblog 121GW meter's 19-bytes binary packets. Get the values and MQ
properties of the device's several displays (main, sub, bar) in several
individual parse calls.
This commit introduces initial support for the device. Some of the modes
and features are untested, as are some of the device's ranges.
Introduce common support for hex dumps in the string util collection.
There are explicit allocation and release routines for the textual
representation of the data bytes, so that callers are free to chose
whether and how to decorate the dump and where to send the message.
Applications are not prepared to handle changes in the channel list
between multiple acquisitions from the same source (device drivers
or input modules). Introduce common helpers to compare channels and
channel lists.
There was the sr_channel_new() allocation routine, but releasing that
allocation was open-coded in call sites. Add the sr_channel_free()
routine for code re-use and consistency.

When users don't specify the input format, applications can try to have
the format auto-detected. Some of the tests were weak and could result
in false positives.
Add a 'confidence' parameter to the input modules' format_match()
method. Claim high confidence (1) for those formats which can check
magic strings or the presence of essential keywords (vcd, wav). Claim
medium confidence (10) for those formats which happened to mis-detect
inputs in the past (trace32_ad). Claim weak confidence (100) for those
formats which totally lack reliable conditions and rather guess than
detect (chronovu_la8).
Prefer the best match in public scan routines. Return at most one module
to callers even if multiple modules matched, to keep the current API.
This addresses part of bug #1200.
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.
Some drivers used locale dependent functions for converting strings
to float/double values. These functions fail when the decimal mark
is a "," in the locale settings but the string contains a ".".
This fixes bug #1064.
This ensures consistent handling of the SR_CONF_SCAN_OPTIONS and
SR_CONF_DEVICE_OPTIONS (with sdi NULL or non-NULL) config keys
and also reduces copy-pasted boilerplate in the drivers a bit.
This function does not handle channel-group specific items, that's
very driver-specific and thus left to the individual drivers.
Also move some generic checks and error messages from the drivers into
the sr_config_list() wrapper.
Be explicit and consistent in the drivers about which dev_clear function
will be called to avoid confusion and inconsistencies.
Drop some open-coded implementations of std_dev_clear().
Introduce an asycii.c source file (modelled after metex14.c) which
implements support for the 16-byte protocol of the ASYC-II multimeter
chipset (RX only, when the PRINT button was pressed).
This fixes the following build issue on OSX:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_sr_drivers_init", referenced from:
_sr_init in backend.o
This closes bug #802.
This single object also contains the sr_drivers_init function, that will
always be referenced. That ensures that the drivers object files won't
be optimized out during static linking due to the fact that they are
not referenced directly.
This addresses (parts of) bug #802.
