The voltage and current specs are rounded values from the manufacturer's specs. The devices might allow slightly higher values for voltage and current. The exact values read from the devices are available by listing the config keys '''SR_CONF_VOLTAGE_TARGET''' and '''SR_CONF_CURRENT_LIMIT'''.

The devices linked above are supported. The other devices might work, but are untested. If you have one of the unsupported devices and can test it, please contact us on [https://web.libera.chat/#sigrok #sigrok@libera.chat] or on the [https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-devel mailing list].

Some other device series by the same manufacturer exist that use a different communication protocol.

== Protocol ==

The devices use an ASCII-based protocol over a USB-to-serial link.

All commands and replies end with a carriage return ('''\r''') character.

Some versions of the protocol description in manuals are incomplete or even erroneous.
