The DMMs report as an event to which mode the user switched (by turning the
rotary switch): "*0", "*1", etc.
Most other DMMs have few modes, but the U127x DMMs have up to 11 different
modes (i.e., "*10" is a valid event).
Their commands are very similar to the U123x series, they just
add some more modes and the second channel. So use the re-functions
and just extend them where necessary.
Log reading not supported yet.
Basic testing done with a U1272A.
- fix the resolution of the CONF?-response:
the resolution is given with 6 decimal places
(instead of 8) like this:
VOLT +5.000000E+00,+1.000000E-04
- add more measurement modes that are possible with the meter:
CONT,COND,TEMP,PULS
Few DMM drivers already did it. This commit adjusts the remaining DMM
drivers, to set the "DC" flag for measurements in diode mode.
This fixes bug #144.
Although I don't have the hardware to test, the nature of the change and
the arrangement of driver code suggests it's good. When a meter already
communicated the "DC" status, the change does nothing and won't harm.
The change ensures "DC" is flagged for those meters which previously
didn't, which is desirable.
This allows much faster and configurable sampling rate, and faster
reaction to function switch.
This also gives a more repeatable job ordering and more reliable
query/reply association.
