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 Pulse-
	    View 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 fin-
	    ished starting up.

     -i, --input-file <filename>
	    Load input from a file. If the --input-format  option  is  not  sup-
	    plied, 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.

     -s, --settings <filename>
	    Load  PulseView  session setup to use with the input file. The setup
	    file must be in the "PulseView session setup" format (.pvs).

     -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.

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
