SMUVIEW(1)

🎀 SMUVIEW 🎀

okay so real talk: this is the manual page for SMUVIEW(1), a General Commands Manual situation, and it's the glow-up guide to SmuView — the Qt-based source measure unit GUI for sigrok. bestie, let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

SmuView — a Qt-based source measure unit GUI for sigrok. that's the whole name section, she's concise, we love her 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

smuview [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the vibe check. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So SmuView is a cross-platform, Qt-based GUI for the sigrok software suite — which is the whole toolkit for test and measurement equipment, like power supplies, electronic loads, multimeters and more. literally the main character of your bench setup, no cap ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

ngl, SmuView has very few command line options, because most configuration elements are available from the GUI itself. so this list is short and sweet, iykyk 🍓

• -l, --loglevel <level> — sets the libsigrok loglevel. the higher the number, the more debug output gets printed. the default loglevel is 2 (Warnings), and these are the valid loglevels, bestie:
  • 0 — None
  • 1 — Error
  • 2 — Warnings
  • 3 — Informational
  • 4 — Debug
  • 5 — Spew
• -h, -?, --help — shows a help text and exits. cute and helpful, we stan 🌈
• -V, --version — shows version information and exits. 💜
• -d, --driver <drivername> — specifies the capture device to connect to. tell her exactly which one, she's not guessing 🔥
• -D, --dont-scan — so usually SmuView automatically scans all drivers to find suitable devices during program startup, and this option disables that auto-scan. lowkey a "i already know what i want" move 💀
• -c, --clean — don't restore previous settings (like views, position and size) on startup. fresh start energy, literally 🧚
• --driver — okay so users can either specify the option to pick a device at startup, or interactively scan for devices after SmuView has finished starting up. your choice, your era 🌸
• -s, --script <path_to_smuscript> — specifies the SmuScript to load and execute. script girlies rise 🎀

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

• SmuView exits with 0 on success.
• 1 on most failures.

so if you see a 1, she's going through it 😭

• sigrok-cli(1)

the sibling, the other half, the collab we needed 💫
