Doxygen can also be configured to extract the code-structure from undocumented source files. This includes dependency graphs, class diagrams and hyperlinked source code. This type of information can be very useful to quickly find your way in large source distributions. Changes: A number of new options have been added to further allow fine tuning of the generated output. A large number of bugs have been fixed.
About: gds2000tools is a collection of command line tools for using the GW Instek GDS-2000 series of oscilloscopes (GDS-2062, GDS-2064, GDS-2102, GDS-2104, GDS-2202, and GDS-2204) under Linux. The heart is a set of bash shell functions effectively turning a bash shell into a shell for communicating with the oscilloscope and for scripting measurements tasks. All 100+ oscilloscope commands are modeled as bash functions. On top of these, additional functions are provided for common high-level tasks like obtaining waveform data as images.
