DRS-LOG

Command line utility for logging data in a binary format from the PSI DRS4 evaluation board module.

Compile

Requires GCC, and the libusb-1.0 package. On a debian machine, installation of these package rquires a few lines.

sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0.0-dev

Then just run make in this directory to get the binary.

make
