I've had the AA-230 ZOOM for several years so the only means of
connecting it to the computer is with a USB cable. I see that Antscope2
is now offered in .deb packages which do install cleanly on Debian 12.
The system recognizes the AA-230 and on this particular machine assigns
it to /dev/ttyUSG2 due to other attached devices. I have tried versions
1.3.4, 1.3.7, and 1.3.9 and neither will capture the device name or port
and populate the connection dialog. Starting antscope2 at the console
shows that it does query the system for the devices and returns the
following for the AA-230 ZOOM:
"ttyUSB2"
description "RigExpert AA-230 ZOOM"
manufacturer "FTDI"
productIdentifier 24577
vendorIdentifier 1027
serialNumber ""
systemLocation "/dev/ttyUSB2"
It would seem useful if I were able to debug whether the stanza is not
being captured or parsed correctly. It appears there is no provision
for connecting to the analyzer after manually entering the device name
and port into the connection dialog since the scan appears to fail.
I have tried the analyzer on another machine that has an MS Windows 10
partition and the software picked up the analyzer as expected, so the
analyzer hardware appears to be functional.
If requested I can open an issue in the Github repository.
