tomato-mcc

tomato driver for MCC DAQ temperature readers (ME-Redlab, Digilent).

This driver is based on the mcculw library for Windows, and the uldaq library for Linux. This driver is developed by the ConCat lab at TU Berlin.

Installation

Windows

1. Install DAQami, make sure you know the dllpath where cbw32.dll and cbw64.dll can be found. Normally, this is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Measurement Computing\DAQ".
2. Install InstaCal, configure your board selecting appropriate thermocouple type. This will generate CB.CFG.
3. Pass the dllpath as settings['dllpath'] to the driver.

Linux

1. Install the libuldaq library, either from source or from your package manager.
2. Make sure you can access the USB device by adding your user to the adm group.
