6.SH "DESCRIPTION"
7.B PulseView
8is a cross-platform Qt-based GUI for the

44.BR "\-d, \-\-driver " <drivername>
45Specify the capture device to connect to. If the

50.BR "\-D, \-\-no\-scan "
51Usually PulseView automatically scans all drivers to find suitable
52devices during program startup. This option disables the auto-scan.
53Users can either specify the
54.B \-\-driver
55option to pick a device at startup, or interactively scan for devices
56after PulseView has finished starting up.
