.SH NAME
clewarecontrol \- control the USB devices made by Cleware GmbH
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BI "clewarecontrol [" options "]
.sp
options:
.BI "[\-l] [\-d serialnr] [\-c retrycount] [\-rt] [\-rs switchnr] [\-ar] [\-as switch state] [\-ag] [\-al led state] [\-w] [\-rp] [\-b] [\-o offset]"
.sp
.SH DESCRIPTION
The program
.B clewarecontrol
lets you control all USB devices created by Cleware GmbH. Measuring the temperature, switching a led on or off, etc.
.PP
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B "\-p"
Directory where to look for the 'hiddev'-devices. Normally this is in /dev/usb (default location) but with -p you can also select e.g. /dev When using this switch, put it in front of all other commandlineswitches.
.TP
.B "\-l"
Lists all Cleware GmbH devices and their capabilities.
.TP
.B "\-d serialnr"
Selects the device to control by its serial number. You can find the serial number on the USB-connector as well as with the 
.BI "\-l"
switch.
.TP
.B "\-c retrycount"
Sometimes commands to a device seem to fail. With this switch you can set the number of retries. The default is 10.
.TP
.B "\-o offset"
Adds an offset value to the temperature/humidity (in case the sensor returns a too low/high value).
.TP
.B "\-rt"
Shows the temperature measured by a device capable of doing so.
.TP
.B "\-rh"
Shows the humidity measured by a device capable of doing so.
.TP
.B "\-rs x"
Shows the state of switch
.BI "x"
of a device which has switches.
.TP
.B "\-ar"
Resets a device.
.TP
.B "\-ag"
Starts a device (for example the humidity sensor).
.TP
.B "\-w"
With this switch the program will become a daemon process which keeps the watchdog happy. If the program is terminated or freezes, the watchdog will reboot the computer.
.TP
.B "\-as switch state"
Switches the switch with number
.BI "switch"
to the state given with
.BI "state"
0=off, 1=on. For a 'USB Ampel' the switch-number is 0 for red, 1 for yellow and 2 for green.
.TP
.B "\-al led state"
Switches the led with number
.BI "led"
to the state given with
.BI "state"
State can be a value in the range 0...15.
.TP
.B "\-am state"
Sets the states of the USB-IO16 lines.
.BI "state"
must be a hex value.
.TP
.B "\-ad state"
Sets the direction of the lines of the USB-IO16 lines.
.BI "state"
must be a hex value. A bit set to 0 means input, a bit set to 1 means output.
.TP
.B "\-rp"
Shows how many times the external switch (USB-Plug) was switched on manually. Also displays how long the switch is set to on.
.TP
.B "\-rr"
Shows how many times the auto-reset kicked in.
.TP
.B "\-b"
Brief output, better parseable for scripts.
.TP
.B "\-h"
Shows a list of commandline switches.
.TP
.B "\-V"
Show the version and exit.

.SH BUGS
