sigrok-meter is work in progress still and not yet very usable (you have to
modify the source code to hardcode your DMM + settings). It also
uses the libsigrok Python bindings which are in git but not yet
officially built or distributed with the released tarballs either.

That being said, if you want to use sigrok-meter either way, you have to
install the Python bindings in the proper places and possibly use some
environment variables (depending on where you install) to make it work.

I'll document this in the wiki soonish, but in the mean time feel free
to join us on the #sigrok IRC channel if you have specific questions
about sigrok-meter.


Cheers, Uwe.
