Since the DER EE DE-5000 driver is currently the only user of
the es51919 module and it depends on the libserialport, compile
the module only if the DER EE DE-5000 driver is enabled. This
allows libsigrok to be built without libserialport again.
Add a driver for the DER EE DE-5000 LCR meter. This meter is based on
the Cyrustek ES51919/ES51920 chipset and communicates with the host
computer via an optional connectivity kit.
The kit uses an optoisolated unidirectional link to connect to the
meter and an USB cable on the host side. Internally the connection is
using the FTDI FT232R USB UART chip i.e. from the host computer point
of view the meter is connected into an RS-232 serial port.
This driver implements just a thin shim layer for registering the
driver and uses the es51919 module for all the actual work.
Add a protocol decoder for the Cyrustek ES51919 LCR meter chip.
This chipset (together with ES51920 front-end) is supposedly used
by multiple different portable LCR meters including at least
DER EE DE-5000, Yihua V&A VA520, Mastech MS5308, Uni-T UT612,
CEM DT-9935 and various OEM rebadges of them.
The communication protocol seems to be implemented on the Cyrustek
chip itself so all the different models are expected to use the
same protocol if they implement a host connection. Unfortunately
the protocol is not available in the public documentation of the
chipset, so this implementation is based on reverse engineering it
from traffic captures.
The actual connection between the meter and the host computer may be
different from meter to meter even when based on the same chip. This
module implements a decoder for the protocol and some common helper
functions for interfacing with the meter via an RS-232 serial port.
libgpib is the userspace component to linux-gpib's kernel modules that
implement low-level interface drivers.
When libsigrok gets userspace GPIB interface drivers, that backend will
be the "official" scpi_gpib.
This silences stuff like this (among others), depending on the
Doxygen version used:
Warning: Tag `XML_SCHEMA' at line 1814 of file `Doxyfile' has become

The Brymen BM25x series supports the BC-20X that is an opto-isolated
serial cable. The link seems to be unidirectional i.e. when activated
the DMM periodically sends updates to the host while the host cannot
control the DMM in any way.
The protocol is documented in "6000-count-digital-multimeters-r1.pdf"
that is available from the manufacturer. Every 15 byte packet consists
of a bitmap where the bits correspond to segments or symbols on the
LCD display i.e. the DMM essentially sends the contents of its screen
to the host in every update. This driver then decodes the measured
quantity, unit and its value from the bitmap.
This is needed so that the C++ bindings, the header for which
references "libsigrok/libsigrok.h", can have a valid include
directory passed to build them before the headers are installed.
