Feature request and logging bug

[felias-fogg]

Hi crapp,

I just downloaded and compiled your system for my newly acquired KD3005P. Your software works for this model (under macos) as well. Thanks a lot. You save my day.

However, Lock and OCP (as well as OVP) cannot be manipulated over the serial interface. On the other hand, playing around with the serial commands, I discovered that my model also has settings M1-M5, despite the fact that my model does not have the corresponding switches. So, as a feature request: Please add "save" and "recall" M1-M5.

In addition, I noticed that the "SET VOLT" commands are executed and shown in the plot, but not in the display below the plot. Furthermore, the "Current" and "Set Current" values always seem to be zero (even in the logs). Either there is a bug or my macos version did not compile right.

Thanks anyway,
Bernhard

You are welcome

Lock is not supported by the serial protocol as fare as I know. OCP and OVP should work though. The problem is the protocol provides no way of asking the device about OCP and OVP.
Save and recall M1-M5 is already on my ToDo list.

This is definitively not the intended behaviour. I will have a look at my device this weekend and test it with my macbook. It might help to play with the device settings and tune down the device sample rate. I really should make the device settings editable.
