Please include CLCapture in the LogicAnalyser package

It feels a little stupid to have 2 almost identical installations - just to have both GUI and CLI
Also it is a little cumbersome having to disect the 2 packages in order to merge them to one unified package

Usually the users that need CLCapture do not use the GUI app and vice-versa, what is your use case that needs both apps?

[UffeJakobsen]

For some projects this UI works - for other projects I need to feed the capture into PulseView in a automated manner and do my analysis there.

Imagine repetitive UI operations such at this: capture in one UI - export - (optional) preprocessing - import into PulseView - do some actual work.... after repeating this many times you wish for something more automated.

[UffeJakobsen]

The last dissection of 5.1 packages came up with 5 files that needed to be copied from CLcapture and into the LogicAnalyser installation:

• CLCapture.runtimeconfig.json
• CLCapture.pdb
• CLCapture.dll
• CLCapture.deps.json
• CLCapture

Their total size is around 400KB - so I guess that putting them into the LogicAnalyser package wouldn't be noticed by anyone not needing it - as the package already is huge (110MB unpacked)

Have you tried V6.0? It includes all the analyzers from Sigrok. You can download the betas from the discussion sections.

Also CLCapture is being replaced with a much more advanced termial app, the triggers for V6.0 went so complex that is a pain to fill the command line, so the new app does a dual purpose, it can open a terminal GUI where to configure the captures, check the limits against devices, trigger captures, etc. or to if a configuration file is provided then it captures silently.

No, I'm a little out of time for the moment...

PS: just downloaded 6.0.0-beta5 (I believe that is the latest) and gave it a quick run on the hardware available - and it instantly core dumped before presenting any UI - failing on to access /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9/serial:

PPS: there is no pico attached to this system (I'm at $WORK) - but on 5.1 it was possible to work in the UI with SDL etc - without any actual hardware available.

Complete output:

Thanks for the report, that's the new feature for autodetection and is not well tested under Linux. I will update the packages today.
