The presence of the other branch made me think: Would it perhaps be better to not modify the UART decoder (and change its output in the process), but instead stack something on top of UART which can count frames and measure time between frames? That makes the use automatically optional, and won't touch the UART decoder (won't complicate the already long configuration dialog). Ideally the frame counter could get re-used for other protocols, too. Think SPI transfers or I2C transactions, which you may find yourself as often wanting to count or measure. If the first stab at it still isn't generic enough, and exclusively works with UART, that's fine as well, yet I'd feel the stacked decoder still could be preferred. > what are the next steps? You did see the documentation in the source code, right? And for more responsive interaction beyond the slow ML I also recommend joining the developers on IRC. Just don't leave after a few minutes yet, humans have the tendency to take longer than that to respond in meaningful ways. :) virtually yours Gerhard Sittig -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you. _______________________________________________ sigrok-devel mailing list sigrok-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-devel
