Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] driver for ueidaq boards

[ematlis]

I put their latest driver and a pdf user guide on my website.  These are 
freely available from them.  They are at:

www.nd.edu/~ematlis/z.gnuradio/powerdaq_linux_full_3.6.18.tgz

and

www.nd.edu/~ematlis/z.gnuradio/PDAQ-MAN-MFX-601.pdf

The tar file contains the driver and there is a manual of the API in the 
doc section.

How difficult do you think it would be to write the interface, based on 
the information I link to above? Is there a template I could use to look 
into writing it?
