* 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
|
|
found in the "comedi" tarball. Also, the calibration programs
|
|
comedi_calibrate and comedi_soft_calibrate can be found in the
|
|
"comedi_calibrate" tarball. A few boards also need firmware
|
|
found in the "comedi-nonfree-firmware" tarball.
|
|
|
|
* Installation:
|
|
|
|
Installation instructions are found in INSTALL.
