UNI-T UT-D04

How to get a proper lsusb:

As documented by Ralf Burger the UT-D04 USBHID-to-serial cable (at least the one with WCH CH9325 chip) that comes with the UT61D multimeter has some issues on Linux. Apparently you need to put it into (auto)suspend first, before you can properly use it.

Here's a script (written by Ralf Burger) which you can run before using the chip and/or doing an lsusb:

$ cat suspend.HE2325U.sh
#!/bin/bash
for dat in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*; do
  if test -e $dat/manufacturer; then
    grep "WCH.CN" $dat/manufacturer > /dev/null && echo auto > ${dat}/power/level && echo 0 > ${dat}/power/autosuspend
  fi
done
