sigrok quirks
The HP3457A can only be accessed via GPIB. On linux, it will most likely be accessed with libgpib. The conn parameter will then be of the form "libgpib/<device_name>", where device_name is the name entry be specified in a gpib.conf device section.
The device supports a configurable ADC integration time based on the number of powerline cycles. This can be specified by using the nplc key. Since there is no way to query the measurement quantity, it should be specified before starting an acquisition, else the unit will not be reported. This is done via the measured_quantity key.
For example, to read two voltage samples from libgpib device hp3457a, with 10 powerline cycles integration time:
sigrok-cli --driver=hp-3457a:conn=libgpib/hp3457a \ --samples 2 \ --config "measured_quantity=voltage:nplc=10"
