4 years ago There should have been a command line tool built with libsmu. Try typing smu on the command line with the board connected. You should see something like this list of options:
smu: utility for managing M1K devices
-h, --help print this help message and exit
--version show libsmu version
-l, --list-devices list supported devices currently attached to the system
-p, --hotplug-devices simple session device hotplug testing
-s, --stream-samples stream samples to stdout from a single attached device
-d, --display-calibration display calibration data from all attached devices
-r, --reset-calibration reset calibration data to the defaults on all attached devices
-w, --write-calibration
The -s option will simply stream samples to the command line text screen.
To learn how to use the various functions in Libsmu I suggest you use Python over C or C#. It is much more interactive. There are a number of very simple examples here under the GitHub Repo in the Python bindings but there are also a few example introductory labs available that have small programing exercises here on the ADI Wiki: https://wiki.analog.com/university/labs/intro_ee Look at links next to class #19 Concept: Digital Electronics Interfacing Hardware and Software

78 I'm trying to use Alice (where I also posted) with the ADALM1000 and have built and installed libsmu in Linux. Since I understand that libsmu is a library for communicating with the device over USB, I would like to know how to issue commands to do that, if possible (it sounds possible from the title of thread #78). I don't actually have Alice working (because I don't know how, yet), but my ADALM1000 shows connected in the command lsusb, so I'd like to know how I can make it acknowledge a command that I issue. Please tell me if I have this all wrong.
