uldaq-sys

Raw FFI bindings to the uldaq C++ library, used for interfacing with Measurement Computing / Data Translation DAQ devices (e.g. the DT9837 series) on Linux.

This crate is the low-level companion of the safe uldaqrs crate. It is not intended to be used directly. For a safe, ergonomic API, see uldaqrs.

Building

This crate compiles and statically links the uldaq library from the vendored source in uldaq/ (MIT licensed, Copyright (c) 2018 Measurement Computing). The vendored copy can be refreshed with the vendor-uldaq.sh script in the repository root.

Prerequisites:

• libusb-1.0 (headers and library). On Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev
• A C++14 compiler.

Regenerating the bindings

The bindings in src/lib.rs are generated at build time by bindgen from uldaq/src/uldaq.h; no manual editing is required.
