Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Folks,

 

measComp R4-0 is available.  This is from the release notes:

 

**********************

  - Changed the Linux support from using the low-level drivers from Warren Jasper (https://github.com/wjasper/Linux_Drivers)

    to using the "UL for Linux" library (uldaq) from Measurement Computing.

    This is an open-source library available on Github (https://github.com/mccdaq/uldaq).

    The Linux Universal Library API is similar to the Windows Universal Library API,

    but the functions have different names and different syntax.

 

  - On Linux the Measurement Computing "UL for Linux" library must be locally installed.

    The instructions for doing this are in the README.md file.

 

  - The higher-level drivers, drvMultiFunction.cpp and drvUSCTR.cpp were changed to make

    different function calls for Linux and Windows.

 

  - For USB devices the UNIQUE_ID (serial number) in the startup script must now be

    8 characters long.  This means adding a leading 0 for seven-digit serial numbers.

 

  - Added open thermocouple detect (OTD) support for models that support it (e.g. USB-2408).

 

  - Added analog input Rate record to control the sampling rate for models that support it (e.g. USB-2408).

 

  - Added DRVH and DRVL limits for NumPoints in the waveform digitizer and waveform generator.

 

  - Added DwellActual records to report the actual dwell time for the waveform digitizer and waveform generator.
