# Current status:
# Version 0.7 -- no code changes, but licensed under the GPL now.
#
# Version 0.6 -- this is a stable, working version that I'm going to gut
# pretty soon; I want to rewrite it to match some of the features of the
# hp3585b.pl program.  I also want to add the ability to display not only
# the peak signal, but also the minimum signal and the delta between them.

This program collects data from an HP 8569B spectrum analyzer and generates
a PNG format graphic mimicking the the instrument's display.  Most of the
options affect the output format.

By using the -c and -r options, multiple charts can be created that will
overlay nicely on one another.  The -r option not only makes the image
background transparent, it suppresses the timestamp, so the timestamp of
the underlying non-transparent image will not be blurred.

-h	: this (help) message

-b	: display both traces; default is trace A only

-c 	: use alternate 1 through 4 for trace colors; default is 1 (red,blue)

-d	: device name (from /etc/gpib.conf); default is "hp8569b"

-m	: mark and display values of peak signal

-r	: make output file tRansparent and suppress timestamp; default is no  

-t	: optional title (1 line max)

-x,-y	: output dimension in pixels; default 550x440

-f	: filename for output PNG
