Many devices supported by libsigrok use serial port based cables (real RS232
-or USB-to-serial ones) to connect to a PC.
+or USB-to-serial ones, CDC class) to connect to a PC. These serial cables are
+supported by the libserialport library. Some vendors prefer to use HID chips
+instead of CDC chips in their serial cables. These cables can get supported
+by means of the hidapi library. Note that each chip type requires specific
+support in the libsigrok library.
For all these devices, you need to specify the serial port they are connected
to (e.g. using the 'conn' option in sigrok-cli). It is not possible to scan
Example:
$ sigrok-cli --driver <somedriver>:conn=/dev/ttyUSB0 ...
+ $ sigrok-cli --driver <somedriver>:conn=hid/cp2110 ...
The following drivers/devices require a serial port specification. Some of
the drivers implement a default for the connection. Some of the drivers
- UT-D02 (RS232 cable)
- UT-D04 (USB/HID cable with Hoitek HE2325U chip, USB VID/PID 04fa:2490)
- UT-D04 (USB/HID cable with WCH CH9325 chip, USB VID/PID 1a86:e008)
+ - UT-D09 (USB/HID cable with SiL CP2110 chip, USB VID/PID 10c4:ea80)
The above cables are all physically compatible (same IR connector shape)
with all/most currently known UNI-T multimeters. For example, you can
