OK - the current snapshot works fine - *but* I had to fix a bug first.

In inst.c, function new_inst()
there's some code which attempts to deduce the instrument type for USB instruments:

        /* Set instrument type from USB port, if not specified */
        atype = usb_is_usb_portno(icom, comport);

        if (itype == instUnknown && atype != instUnknown)
                itype = atype;

        /* itype and atype will be the same now */

That last comment is *not* true for serial devices where the type is specified on the command line.

Once I'd added:

        atype = itype;
        /* Now they really are the same, even if a serial device's type
           is specified on the command line! */

It seemed to work OK. I haven't actually built a profile with it under Linux yet, though.

Without that correction, BTW - it segfaulted, rather than exiting gracefully with an unidentified instrument error.

Thanks for the pointer - and hope this feedback is some help :)

All the best,
