NAME

       PulseView - Qt-based LA/scope/MSO GUI for sigrok

SYNOPSIS

       pulseview [OPTIONS] [FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       PulseView  is  a  cross-platform  Qt-based  GUI  for  the  sigrok software suite for test and measurement
       equipment such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, MSOs, and more.

OPTIONS

       PulseView has very few command line options, as most configuration elements are available  from  the  GUI
       itself.

       If  the  optional  FILE argument is supplied, PulseView tries to open the specified file. It has to be in
       the "libsigrok session" format (.sr) unless -I is used to specify the input file format.

       -l, --loglevel
              Set the libsigrok and libsigrokdecode loglevel. At the moment PulseView  doesn't  support  setting
              the  two  loglevels  independently.  The higher the number, the more debug output will be printed.
              Valid loglevels are:

              0   None
              1   Error
              2   Warnings
              3   Informational
              4   Debug
              5   Spew

       -h, -?, --help
              Show a help text and exit.

       -V, --version
              Show version information and exit.

       -d, --driver <drivername>
              Specify the capture device to connect to. If  the  --driver  option  is  not  supplied,  PulseView
              attempts to re-connect to the most recently used device, or auto-detect available devices.

       -D, --dont-scan
              Usually PulseView automatically scans all drivers to find suitable devices during program startup.
              This option disables the auto-scan.  Users can either specify the --driver option to pick a device
              at startup, or interactively scan for devices after PulseView has finished starting up.

       -i, --input-file <filename>
              Load  input  from a file. If the --input-format option is not supplied, PulseView attempts to load
              the file as a sigrok session file.

       -I, --input-format <format>
              Specifies the format of the input file to be loaded.

       -c, --clean
              Prevents the previously used sessions to be restored from settings storage.  This is useful if you
              want  only  a  single  session  with  the  file given on the command line instead of restoring all
              previously used sessions as well.
