The serial-dmm entry for Victor DMMs is able to communicate to either
geniune COM ports (RS232 or USB CDC) or the obfuscating USB HID cables.
The victor-dmm driver became obsolete and was removed. Rename the
serial-dmm entry, remove the no longer needed "-ser" suffix. Suggest a
default connection via the obfuscating USB HID cable, accept user
provided overrides for regular serial cables (same behaviour as before,
connection spec for serial ports keeps being mandatory).
Request packets from the Brymen BM86x meter much faster. The previous
implementation in the separate driver used to immediately send another
request when a measurement arrived, with a 10ms granularity in the poll
routine, and a 500ms timeout between requests.
Considering the meter's update rate, stick with the 500ms timeout, but
increase the maximum request rate to 10 per second, with a minimum of 2
per second. This receives measurement data at the meter's capability
(compare DC and AC modes, seems to automatically adjust to the internal
operation, and match the display update rate).
Move Brymen BM86x specific packet parse logic to a new src/dmm/bm86x.c
source file, and register the routines with the serial-dmm driver's list
of supported devices. Which obsoletes the src/hardware/brymen-bm86x/
hierarchy.
This implementation differs from the previous version: The parse routine
gets called multiple times after one DMM packet was received. Values for
the displays get extracted in separate invocations, the received packet
is considered read-only. Unsupported LCD segment combinations for digits
get logged. Low battery gets logged with higher severity -- the validity
of measurement values is uncertain after all. The parse routine uses
longer identifiers. Packet reception uses whichever serial transport is
available (need no longer be strictly USB HID nor libusb based). All
features of the previous implementation are believed to still be present
in this version.
This configuration queries measurement values each 0.5 seconds and
re-sends a not responded to request after 1.5 seconds. Which follows the
combination of the vendor's suggested flow (frequency) and the previous
implementation's timeout (3x 500ms). This implementation does not try to
re-connect to the HID device for each measurement, and neither checks
for the 4.0 seconds timeout (vendor's suggested flow). Local experiments
work without these.
Some meters which are supported by the serial-dmm driver don't strictly
require the user's COM port specification. When a known (usually bundled,
or even builtin) cable type is used, we can provide a default conn= spec
and thus improve usability. Prepare the DMM_CONN() macro, accept user
overrides.
The 'conn' field in the device context and the CONN values in the
declarations of supported DMM models seemed inappropriate. They specify
the communication parameters (UART frame format and bitrate), not the
connection (port name). Adjust the respective identifiers.
Also rephrase the evaluation logic. Instead of checking for the absence
of user specs and optionally assigning a fallback value, just preset
from defaults and override from user specs when present. This simplifies
the logic (eliminates a check).
The serial communication timing parameters during probe get determined
from earlier serial port configuration, which obsoletes the redundant
'baudrate' parameter, and eliminates potential inconsistency between
user specified parameters and builtin default values.
The serial_stream_detect() routine needs to estimate the time which is
needed to communicate a given amount of data. Since the serial port got
opened and configured before, the serial communication parameters are
known, and callers need not redundantly specify the bit rate.
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.
Default to the existing "P1" etc naming scheme for analog channels of
serial-dmm subdrivers. Add support for subdriver specific channel names
(which can reference the channel number if they desire). This is useful
for devices with multiple displays, or special purpose devices where
other names than P1 can better reflect the channel's nature.
Commit 556a926d43 introduced support for multiple displays in
subdrivers of serial-dmm, but also changed user visible channel numbers
to start from 0. Restore the previous behaviour, start counting from 1
which users may perceive as more natural (serial-dmm used to start at P1
in the past, scopes start with CH1 as well).
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.
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().
Factor out identical comments on the UART bitrate of ES519xx based
multimeters. These probably got copied from the first item as of 2012
when new items were added in 2014 (the added devices were from the
same vendor and rebadged).
Expand on the fact that the bitrate still is within spec, and does not
harm at all. Strictly speaking the comment could get dropped.
The previous implementation seems to have added drivers in their "order
of appearance". Start sorting the rather long list, to simplify several
tasks: Add new entries as more drivers get written, find existing items
during research, identify and compare similar models during maintenance.
As a byproduct, there will be no doubt about where to put things during
future work :) and duplicates will be spotted immediately.
This commit puts 'bm25x' meters into one group. And comments on the sort
order and motivation for sorting the table.
Add another DMM entry for Peaktech-3330, which is based on the FS9721
chipset. Support was tested with the CP210x based USB cable.

Now that std_serial_dev_acquisition_stop() has the same signature as
the sr_dev_driver dev_acquisition_stop() callback it is possible to remove
the wrapper functions and use std_serial_dev_acquisition_stop() directly
has the callback function.

All callers of std_serial_dev_acquisition_stop() currently pass the same
callback for the dev_close_fn parameter as the dev_close callback of their
sr_dev_driver struct. Remove the dev_close_fn parameter and invoke the
drivers dev_close() callback directly. This simplifies the API and ensures
consistent behaviour between different drivers.

All callers of std_serial_dev_acquisition_stop() currently pass sdi->conn
for the serial parameter. And the other std_serial helper functions already
require that the conn field of the sr_driver_inst passed to the functions
points to the sr_serial_dev_inst associated with the device.
Modify std_serial_dev_acquisition_stop() to follow the same pattern and
remove the serial parameter. This simplifies the API and ensures consistent
behaviour between different drivers.

Some of the standard helper functions take a log prefix parameter that is
used when printing messages. This log prefix is almost always identical to
the name field in the driver's sr_dev_driver struct. The only exception are
drivers which register multiple sr_dev_driver structs.
Instead of passing the log prefix as a parameter simply use the driver's
name. This simplifies the API, gives consistent behaviour between different
drivers and also makes it easier to identify where the message originates
when a driver registers sr_dev_driver structs.
