 DESCRIPTION
 
-kaxxxxp-viewer logs voltage and current readings provided by a KAxxxxP power supply
-with serial/USB interface, sold under brands such as Korad or RND Lab.
-Measurements can be taken directly (by specifying <measurement duration> in seconds)
-or loaded from a logfile using --load <file>. Data can be plotted or aggregated on stdout.

 WARNING
 
-The power supply's serial communication protocol is supports both read and write
-operations. Communication errors or bugs may cause the power supply to set an
-incompatible voltage or current limit, which may result in damaged equipment or
-fire. By using this software, you acknowledge that you are aware of these risks
