Ah! I think that solves an issue with the jyetech dos112A driver. It needs
to add frame marks. Just around each packet, as it does small frames. The
next question is then how do I tell pulseview to show me the next frame in
a multi-frame capture?

Also, this is something I can handle in gnuplot output. It has a way of
representing "discontinuous" data.  Not sure how to do that in a csv file,
or if it even makes sense. For vcd - well, I'll investigate.

This is also important to me. One of the things I use sigrok for is
capturing the chatter between the µcu & rf module in RC transmitters. I
bought a USBeeAX clone so I could capture the relevant analog stick
movement at the same time (unfortunately, it seems that analog input isn't
working). I'll come back to this after I've got the tools I need for
working with analog values, though.
