The working group "VISA for Linux" of the IVI Foundation
www.ivifoundation.org specifies common rules, shared libraries and
drivers to implement the specification of "VPP-4.3: The VISA Library"
on Linux to be compatible with implementations on other operating systems.
The USBTMC protocol is part of the "VISA Library" that is used by many
popular T&M applications.
Initial implementations for Linux based on libusb has been created.
However using one common USBTMC driver results in more benefits:
- Multiple applications can share access to the same instruments.
- The driver handles SRQ conflicts.
- Simplifies definition of udev rules for USBTMC devices.
- Simplifies development of applications using T&M instruments.
The following collaborative patches meet the requirements of the IVI
Foundation to implement the library based on the usbtmc driver.
Improvements in the data transfer rate of over 130 MByte/s for
usb 3.x connections have been measured.
V5: Added this version history. No change to patches.
V4: Removed redundant #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT.
V3: Replaced data pointer of type void* in structs
usbtmc_ctrlrequest and usbtmc_message with data pointer of
type __u64 to avoid double implementation of ioctls with
different structure sizes for 32 and 64 bit applications.
Following patch is added to usb-next branch:
usb: usbtmc: Add support for 32 bit compat applications
V2: Split patch series into smaller patches.
Add compatible ioctls and structs to support 32 bit applications.
Incorporates feedback from reviewers.
Following patches are added to usb-next branch:
usb: usbtmc: Add ioctl for termination character
usb: usbtmc: Add ioctl for EOM bit
usb: usbtmc: Add ioctl for trigger
usb: usbtmc: Add ioctls to set/get usb timeout
usb: usbtmc: use consistent timeout error
usb: usbtmc: Support Read Status Byte with SRQ per file
V1: usb: usbtmc: Remove rigol_quirk (accepted)
