1 .TH PULSEVIEW 1 "March 31, 2020"
3 PulseView \- Qt-based LA/scope/MSO GUI for sigrok
5 .B pulseview \fR[\fBOPTIONS\fR] [\fBFILE\fR]
8 is a cross-platform Qt-based GUI for the
10 software suite for test and measurement equipment such as logic analyzers,
11 oscilloscopes, MSOs, and more.
14 has very few command line options, as most configuration elements are
15 available from the GUI itself.
17 If the optional \fBFILE\fR argument is supplied, PulseView tries to open
18 the specified file. It has to be in the "libsigrok session" format (.sr)
19 unless -I is used to specify the input file format.
21 .B "\-l, \-\-loglevel"
22 Set the libsigrok and libsigrokdecode loglevel. At the moment PulseView
23 doesn't support setting the two loglevels independently. The higher the
24 number, the more debug output will be printed. Valid loglevels are:
38 .B "\-h, \-?, \-\-help"
39 Show a help text and exit.
42 Show version information and exit.
44 .BR "\-d, \-\-driver " <drivername>
45 Specify the capture device to connect to. If the
47 option is not supplied, PulseView attempts to re-connect to the
48 most recently used device, or auto-detect available devices.
50 .BR "\-D, \-\-dont\-scan "
51 Usually PulseView automatically scans all drivers to find suitable
52 devices during program startup. This option disables the auto-scan.
53 Users can either specify the
55 option to pick a device at startup, or interactively scan for devices
56 after PulseView has finished starting up.
58 .BR "\-i, \-\-input\-file " <filename>
59 Load input from a file. If the
61 option is not supplied, PulseView attempts to load the file as a sigrok session
64 .BR "\-I, \-\-input\-format " <format>
65 Specifies the format of the input file to be loaded.
67 .BR "\-s, \-\-settings " <filename>
68 Load PulseView session setup to use with the input file. The setup file must be
69 in the "PulseView session setup" format (.pvs).
72 Prevents the previously used sessions to be restored from settings storage.
73 This is useful if you want only a single session with the file given on the
74 command line instead of restoring all previously used sessions as well.
75 .SH "KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS"
81 Enable / disable sticky scrolling. When enabled, the right edge of the screen
82 always shows the most recently captured data.
85 Show / hide sampling points.
88 Show / hide analog minor grid (in addition to the vdiv grid).
94 Show / hide protocol decoder selector.
97 Toggle between coloured trace backgrounds and alternating light/dark
98 gray trace backgrounds.
101 Start / stop an acquisition.
103 .B "Left/right arrow keys"
109 .B "Up/down arrow keys"
113 Jump to the start/end of the sample data.
116 Attach left/right side of the cursors to the mouse.
125 Save selected range as...
128 Group all currently selected traces into a trace group.
131 Ungroup the traces in the currently selected trace group.
133 .B "CTRL+up/down arrow keys"
137 Quit, i.e. shutdown PulseView (closing all session tabs).
140 Close the current session tab.
143 exits with 0 on success, 1 on most failures.
