Hi Roman, while merging sigrok with a project like openhantek (or similar) may look beneficial at first glance, there are some issues.
For example, sigrok consists of several libraries (libsigrok, libsigrokdecode, etc.) that clients such as sigrok-cli, PulseView or sigrok-meter use. This separation allows not only a high degree of flexibility for the user but also allows sigrok to support a wide range of different device classes. Projects like openhantek have an integrated driver backend tailored to the specific device(s) they target and only have one specific device class in mind: oscilloscopes (or in case of e.g. QtDMM, multimeters). For those reasons, the most sensible way to go wouldn't be to merge but instead to fork those projects and replace their internal drivers by a generic sigrok interface, turning the software into another sigrok client. This would certainly be doable, although it may prove difficult to handle all the workarounds that can be used when interacting with a known scope directly. So in the end it's a matter of "is it worth it?" and "who volunteers to do it?" - so far no one has stepped up, so it hasn't been done :) All the best, -Soeren On Sun, 2016-10-09 at 19:34 +0200, Roman Seidl wrote: > Hi! > > Sorry if this has been discussed many times. > > I am just curious if someone has thought of merging the sogrok > library > with a traditional oscilloscope viewer with a compatible license > (e.g. > openhantek). > > Would it be technically feasible to use libsigrok for such a purpose? > > cheers, > roman > > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > ----------- > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > sigrok-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ sigrok-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-devel
