Binary block data is specified in IEEE 488.2. First character is '#',
followed by a single ascii digit denoting the the number of digits needed
for the length specification. Length is given in bytes.
This allows drivers to replace retrieval of comma separated ASCII values
with binary formats. See bug #791.
While some transports add a terminating (carriagereturn+)linefeed
unconditionally, the USBTMC transport does not. At least the R&S HMO1002
requires the linefeed and locks up otherwise. Fixes bug #784.
This changes the TCP and VXI transport from CR+LF to LF only.
Also fixes a possible memory leak for VXI, where the temporary command
buffer was not freed in case of a write error.
According to USBTMC usb488 subclass spec, wValue hast to be 0 for both
LOCAL_LOCKOUT and GO_TO_LOCAL. At least required for R&S HMO1002, the
bad request results in a STALL. Fixes bug #783.
Devices connected on a real GPIB bus are placed in remote mode when
opening them. libgpib does not automatically place devices back in
local mode when closing the handle. It is thus possible to lock out a
GPIB device by probing it with libsigrok.
This happens on the HP 3457A meter, which does not have a "LOCAL"
command, and must be put back in local mode via GPIB handshake.
ibloc() takes care of this, and it does it on a per-device basis,
such that other devices on the GPIB bus are not affected.
libgpib has an error_string which formats a numeric error code into a
human-readable description. Use that instead of printing the numeric
code, as it makes debugging easier.
This fixes parts of bug #423.

Firmware versions starting with 00.02.04 apparently cause the in and out
bulk endpoints to end up in a HALT state. This is likely related to the
larger transfer size quirk implemented in the Linux kernel for the Rigol
DS1000: this USBTMC implementation does not have that workaround.
Instead, if the firmware version is >= 00.02.04, both endpoints have the HALT
condition cleared on device close.
This fixes bug #354.
scpi-pps at line 212 assumes that an SR_OK return means that the gvar
is valid, which leads to the following error:
** GLib:ERROR:/build/glib2.0-2.45.8/./glib/gvarianttypeinfo.c:184:g_variant_type_info_check: assertion failed: (0 <= index && index < 24)
Since Autoconf places some important feature flags only into the
configuration header, it is necessary to include it globally to
guarantee a consistent build.
A few of these were pretty serious, like missing arguments,
passing integers where a string was expected, and so on.
In some places, change the types used by the code rather than
just the format strings.
There was a problem in scpi_serial.c in the scpi_serial_read_data()
function. Incoming data was written at the read position in the buffer,
although it should be written at the count position in the buffer.
Make vxi.h the first #include in all affected files and #undef the
_POSIX_C_SOURCE macro in vxi.h.
This avoids various build issues on e.g. FreeBSD or Mac OS X where
setting _POSIX_C_SOURCE leads to the unavailability of certain types
such as u_long (as used in the VXI/RPC code).
Move the include flags for files in the source tree from
configure.ac to Makefile.am where they belong. Also use
AM_CPPFLAGS instead of CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS to make sure the
files in the build/source tree are always picked up first.
Also, remove the include/libsigrok sub-directory from the
search path, thereby making the <libsigrok/> prefix mandatory
when building libsigrok itself. This matches the convention
already imposed on users of the library.
Some devices with more than one microcontroller report the firmware
version for each of them, giving us more than four tokens. When that
happens, sigrok aborts, even though it received a valid response.
This happens, for example with the Chroma 61604:
'Chroma ATE,61604,001060,1.25,1.34,1.20'
On a Hameg HMO1024 you get incomplete data because the USB transfer takes
longer than the scpi->read_timeout_ms of 1 second that is defined in
scpi_dev_inst_new(). Therefore reset the timeout in sr_scpi_get_string()
whenever the device sends a partial response.
Use g_malloc0() for small allocations and assume they always
succeed. Simplify error handling in a few places accordingly.
Don't always sanity-check parameters for non-public (SR_PRIV)
functions, we require the developers to invoke them correctly.
This allows further error handling simplifications.
