i am not a developer here, so i hope i dont annoy anyone ...
either the vendor software sends the same commands as sigrok but the vendor software ignores the error or the vendor software sends different commands to get a positive response can you send captures of the USB traffic for the working vendor software and for pulseview? USB sniffer for windows: https://desowin.org/usbpcap/ may not work on windows XP alternatives: https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbsnoop/ https://github.com/djpnewton/busdog capture traffic only for your sensor eventually change your USB ports so that your sensor is the only device on one USB bus capture the app start, a short measure, and app close save the pcap file, compress, send other than that, the call stack before the error should be hardware/sysclk-sla5032/api.c ``` int dev_open( // ... return sla5032_apply_fpga_config(sdi); ``` hardware/sysclk-sla5032/protocol.c ``` int sla5032_apply_fpga_config( // ... ret = sla5032_is_configured(sdi->conn, &is_configured); ``` hardware/sysclk-sla5032/protocol.c ``` int sla5032_is_configured( // ... ret = la_read_reg(usb, 2, ®2); ``` hardware/sysclk-sla5032/protocol.c ``` int la_read_reg( // ... ret = la_write_cmd_buf(usb, CMD_READ_REG, reg * sizeof(uint32_t), sizeof(reply), NULL); /* rd reg */ if (ret != SR_OK) return ret; ``` ret should be -1 == SR_ERR --> "generic/unspecified error" if you can compile libsigrok, you can add ``` sr_dbg("la_write_cmd_buf: ret = %i", ret); sr_dbg("libusb_bulk_transfer: ret = %i", ret); ``` in the `la_read_reg` function before the two `if (ret != SR_OK)` lines to see what command is causing the error 2020-08-06 14:15 GMT+02:00, Mike Zomo <kweis...@gmail.com>: > Hi Soeren, > > Thanks for your reply. it was very helpful.
