COMEDILIB The Linux Control and Measurement Device Interface Library David Schleef * About Comedi: Comedi is a collection of drivers for data acquisition hardware. These drivers work with Linux, and also with Linux combined with the real-time extensions RTAI and RTLinux. The Comedi core, which ties all the driver together, allows applications to be written that are completely hardware independent. Comedi supports a variety of data acquisition hardware; an incomplete list can be found in the Comedi source. This distribution contains only the user-space library. You will almost certainly also want to download the Comedi kernel modules. * Installation: Installation instructions are found in INSTALL. * Mailing List: Comedi has a mailing list. Send "subscribe comedi" to comedi-request@comedi.org to subscribe. Traffic is light, and mainly questions/answers about comedi installation, bugs, and programming. General questions about data acquisition are also welcome. Alternatively, you can subscribe and unsubscribe at http://www.comedi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/comedi. You can always unsubscribe by sendinging "unsubscribe" (spell it correctly!) to comedi-request@comedi.org. * More Information: Comedi also has a web page, at http://www.comedi.org/comedi. New versions of comedi can be found on the ftp site ftp://ftp.comedi.org/pub/comedi. Often bugfixes and new features that are not in the current release can be found in the CVS repository. Instructions for anonymous CVS access to the Comedi and Comedilib repositories are found at http://www.comedi.org/download.php Comedilib may be freely distibuted and modified in accordance with the GNU Lesser General Public License.
