HowTo? From: Patrick Injection-Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2013 02:00:55 +0000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Date: 2013-01-11T18:00:54-08:00 List-Id: Hi Mutek I work with scientific instruments and am of course interested in Ada. I attended a labview seminar and I have played with it a bit but that was more then 10 years ago. First question, what sort of boards are you using? Do you need GPIB? GPIB is a bit of a problem on Linux but not insurmountable. I can discuss if you are interested... There are graphing libraries that have Ada support, I can send links if interested. Ada can interface quite well with C but there is also quite a lot of complexity. I am not aware of any data acquisitions libraries freely available in Ada so you will likely have to bind. GNATCOLL has a Python binding in it, you might want to consider a mixed Ada Python solution. How many bits of resolution do you need with your A/D ? Labjack might be an option. I usually can only work on programming related tasks when I am exhausted and the kids are in bed. I make very slow progress but if you need help I would like to help-Patrick
