Hi,

The sigrok website claims to suppport a huge amount of hardware
(https://sigrok.org/wiki/Supported_hardware). Unfortunately the support
varies in the aspect of software version and target OS. While sigrok
works perfectly with most devices, there are problems with at the one I
choosed. And I doubt that I am perfect in choosing the wrong device. :-)

The current version 0.7.1 doesn't support the Kingst LA2016
(https://sigrok.org/wiki/Kingst_LA2016):

C:\Program Files (x86)\sigrok\sigrok-cli>sigrok-cli --version
sigrok-cli 0.7.1

Libraries and features:
- libsigrok 0.5.1/5:0:1 (rt: 0.5.1/5:0:1).
 - Libs:
.....

C:\Program Files (x86)\sigrok\sigrok-cli>sigrok-cli --list-supported
Supported hardware drivers:
  agilent-dmm          Agilent U12xx series DMMs
  appa-55ii            APPA 55II
...
  iso-tech-idm103n     ISO-TECH IDM103N
  kecheng-kc-330b      Kecheng KC-330B
  kern-ew-6200-2nm     KERN EW 6200-2NM
  korad-kaxxxxp        Korad KAxxxxP
...

The Kingst LA2016 will be inserted before the Korad KAxxxxP in next
versions as you can see with the nightly build version:

  kern-ew-6200-2nm     KERN EW 6200-2NM
  kingst-la2016        Kingst LA2016   <----
  korad-kaxxxxp        Korad KAxxxxP

It would be good to have in information about the least required
software version at the page (https://sigrok.org/wiki/Kingst_LA2016).
This would include that the device is new. Since there is no stable
software version the experience with the device isn't wide spread.

Currently even the sigrok development version does NOT support Windows.
Although Florian has worked hard and with patience to solve the issue,
the Kingst LA2016 is not supported at the Windows 10.

It would be good to have an information on the device's page on what OS
versions it was tested.

I propose to add the information about SW version and supported OS on
the device's pages. This would help users of sigrok to select a device
for their working environment.

Best regards,
Helge
