2.SH "NAME"
3PulseView \- Qt-based LA/scope/MSO GUI for sigrok
4.SH "SYNOPSIS"
5.B pulseview \fR[\fBOPTIONS\fR] [\fBFILE\fR]
6.SH "DESCRIPTION"
7.B PulseView
8is a cross-platform Qt-based GUI for the
9.B sigrok
10software suite for test and measurement equipment such as logic analyzers,
11oscilloscopes, MSOs, and more.
12.SH "OPTIONS"
13.B PulseView
14has very few command line options, as most configuration elements are
15available from the GUI itself.
16.sp
17If the optional \fBFILE\fR argument is supplied, PulseView tries to open
18the specified file. It has to be in the "libsigrok session" format (.sr)
19unless -I is used to specify the input file format.
20.TP
21.B "\-l, \-\-loglevel"
22Set the libsigrok and libsigrokdecode loglevel. At the moment PulseView
23doesn't support setting the two loglevels independently. The higher the
24number, the more debug output will be printed. Valid loglevels are:

38.B "\-h, \-?, \-\-help"
39Show a help text and exit.
40.TP
41.B "\-V, \-\-version"
42Show version information and exit.
43.TP
44.BR "\-d, \-\-driver " <drivername>
45Specify the capture device to connect to. If the
46.B \-\-driver
47option is not supplied, PulseView attempts to re-connect to the
48most recently used device, or auto-detect available devices.
49.TP
50.BR "\-D, \-\-dont\-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.
57.TP
58.BR "\-i, \-\-input\-file " <filename>
59Load input from a file. If the
60.B \-\-input\-format
61option is not supplied, PulseView attempts to load the file as a sigrok session
62file.
63.TP
64.BR "\-I, \-\-input\-format " <format>
65Specifies the format of the input file to be loaded.
66.TP
67.BR "\-s, \-\-settings " <filename>
68Load PulseView session setup to use with the input file. The setup file must be
69in the "PulseView session setup" format (.pvs).
70.TP
71.BR "\-c, \-\-clean"
72Prevents the previously used sessions to be restored from settings storage.
73This is useful if you want only a single session with the file given on the
74command line instead of restoring all previously used sessions as well.
