Usually PulseView automatically scans all drivers to find suitable
devices during program startup. This option disables the auto-scan.
Users can either specify the
" -V, --version Show release version\n"
" -l, --loglevel Set libsigrok/libsigrokdecode loglevel\n"
" -d, --driver Specify the device driver to use\n"
- " -D, --no-scan Don't auto-scan for devices, use -d spec only\n"
+ " -D, --dont-scan Don't auto-scan for devices, use -d spec only\n"
" -i, --input-file Load input from file\n"
" -I, --input-format Input format\n"
" -c, --clean Don't restore previous sessions on startup\n"
{"version", no_argument, nullptr, 'V'},
{"loglevel", required_argument, nullptr, 'l'},
{"driver", required_argument, nullptr, 'd'},
- {"no-scan", no_argument, nullptr, 'D'},
+ {"dont-scan", no_argument, nullptr, 'D'},
{"input-file", required_argument, nullptr, 'i'},
{"input-format", required_argument, nullptr, 'I'},
{"clean", no_argument, nullptr, 'c'},
You can also specify more than one file but they are all expected to be in the same format then.
Example:
- pulseview -i data.vcd -I vcd
+ pulseview -i data.csv -I csv:samplerate=3000000
The remaining parameters are mostly for debug purposes:
-V / --version Shows the release version
-l / --loglevel Sets the libsigrok/libsigrokdecode log level (max is 5)
- -D / --no-scan Don't auto-scan
+ -D / --dont-scan Don't auto-scan for devices
-c / --clean Don't restore previous sessions on startup
-Of these, -D can be useful when PulseView gets stuck during the startup device scan. No such
-scan will be performed then, allowing the program to start up but you'll have to scan for your
-acquisition device(s) manually before you can use them then.

-Another potentially useful option is -c, which can be used when PulseView doesn't start up and
-you don't know what could cause this.
+Another potentially useful option is -c / --clean, which can be used when PulseView doesn't start

Thus, the combination of both parameters can be seen as some kind of "safe mode" for PulseView:
- pulseview -D -c
+ pulseview -c -D
