This is helpful in many cases, e.g. when trying to identify which of the
16000 system error codes from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681381%28VS.85%29.aspx
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.
A new sp_port is created every time we call serial_open (sp_get_port_by_name
implicitly creates one for us), so free it every time we call serial_close.
Disable drivers that need serial port support if libserialport is not found.
Also, disable building various other serial port related code in that case.
Most Metex DMMs use e.g. " mV" as unit field, others use "mV ",
though. Support these (and other) whitespace variants by stripping all
spaces and only comparing non-space characters.
g_usleep(XX) sleeps for *at least* XX microseconds but may sleep for
longers (on older kernels the sleep will typically be 10000us). Thus
byte receive loops containing an unconditional sleep will perform
very poorly (for example it causes the scan in agilent-dmm to timeout
prematurely).
Even on modern kernels serial_readline() has a 2ms sleep per byte which
means it will read at a maximum rate of half a character per millisecond
(~4800baud).
This is fixed by only sleeping when read() returns no data.

This DMM is not using the standard bits in the FS9922 protocol/structure
to indicate the "volt" and "diode mode" flags. Instead, it only sets the
user-defined bit "z1" to indicate both "diode mode" and "volt".
This fixes#142.
This is no longer used, and also it is not available on Android and thus
breaks cross-compilation for Android.
Thanks Marcus Comstedt <marcus@mc.pp.se> for reporting.
Use the same functions and structs as the other DMM protocol parsers
in hardware/common/dmm. Among other things, this allows the functions
to be used from drivers in a generic way, e.g. in serial-dmm, uni-t-dmm,
and possibly other drivers.
- If libusb-1.0 is not found, do not compile in ezusb.c and usb.c since
they require libusb.h. The respective hardware drivers that use
libusb-1.0, and usb.c and/or ezusb.c will be excluded from the build
elsewhere in configure.ac. Rename NEED_EZUSB to NEED_USB.
- Drop the NEED_SERIAL check and always compile in serial.c. This is a
very small chunk of code, it does not depend on any external
libraries that might be missing, and it compiles on all architectures.
Thus there's no need to conditionally include or exclude it.
Some unusual modes required re-parsing the value. Instead of assigning the
re-parsed value to *floatval, it was reassigned directly to *analog->data;
however, analog->data is not initialized at this point, causing a segfault.
This situation was created when moving the radioshack-dmm code to serial-dmm,
with the segfault not being observed at that time.
Do not write directly to analog->data, but instead use the intermediate
variable rawval.

Convert bit masks from hardcoded hex values to bit shifts. For example 0x80
becomes (1 << 7). This also fixes a typo error in the definition of INFO_DIODE.
Add comments explaining that some case values in sr_rs9lcd_parse() are meant to
fall through without a 'break;', and explain some of the unusual modes.
