Nice! The main question is what's your umbrella. I do not think the way is to write a big unified library or software environemnt for all the different devices. If we need that, sigrok already has something like that. What I prefer is that the environment is UNIX and I have small, stdio based command line tools that I can put in a pipeline. This also means there's no unified protocol format, as each device may have very different way of communicating. The UT61E has a handful of things that I found real surprising while developing the lib. So if your vision matches that, a set of independent command line tools (and independent C minilibs), we can indeed make up an umbrella project for it. Best regards, Igor2
