Here is what the datasheet says about this:
"If judge bit is 1, it means frequency mode. If judge bit is 0,
it means duty cycle mode."
But this is plain wrong. Reality proves this is the other way around.
Depending on the chip, the limit value for the buzzer is between 25 and 35 Ω,
so this code set the limit for continuity to 25 Ω to be on the safe side.
This is helpful in many cases, e.g. when trying to identify which of the
16000 system error codes from

has been encountered (which is not trivial if you only have an,
e.g. German, string message alone).
This patch adds a function for a common operation of all serial based drivers.
It extracts the serial options from the options linked list that is passed down
to every hardware driver.
This patch adds a function to read and parse a SCPI response which contains a
comma separated list of unsignet 8-bit integer numbers (e.g "1,0,64").
This is particularly useful if the instrument sends digital measurement data
in this format.
This patch adds a function to read and parse a SCPI response which contains a
comma-separated list of floating-point numbers (e.g. "1.0e-5,2.0e-4,3.0e-3").
This is particularly useful if the instrument sends analog measurement
data in this format.
The SCPI standard specifies the "*OPC?" command (Operation complete query) which
queries the instrument for its operative state. When all pending operations are
complete, the instrument responds with a "1".
Some manufacturers block before completing all operations and don't respond
with anything and some of them respond with a "0". This function handles both
cases uniformly.
This patch adds helper functions to read an SCPI response and parse the response
as an integer, boolean, floating-point or double-precision floating-point number.
The Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) defines a standard
for syntax and commands to use in controlling programmable test and measurement
devices.

This patch adds helper functions for sending SCPI commands, reading a SCPI
response and reading and parsing a SCPI "*IDN?" response.
