Intended Audience

This document is intended for the application developer familiar with both MCC DAQ devices and Linux programming, and who is interested in acquiring data on a Linux platform.  

Step 1 Downloading the driver.

You can download the latest MCCLIBETH directly from GitHub by typing: 

git clone https://github.com/wjasper/Linux_Drivers.git

Step 2 Compiling the driver.

a) cd Linux_drivers/Ethernet<Enter>

b) make<Enter>

d) sudo make install <Enter>

f) Type ls<Enter> to list all of the files

Note: MCC Ethernet devices require a connection through a network router. 

Step 3 - Running Example test app with an MCC DAQ device

Now you are ready to run some of the examples. If you are no longer in the mcc-ethernet directory for MCC Ethernet DAQ devices, navigate back by typing cd mcc-ethernet <Enter>.

        a) Plug in your MCC Ethernet DAQ.

        b) Type ./test-E-1608<IP ADDR>  <Enter>
