The Quanser HIL SDK for the x86-based 64-bit Linux operating system. Testing was done on an out-of-the-box 64-bit Ubuntu PC. The Quanser Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) SDK, also known as the Quanser HIL SDK, provides device drivers and a set of C functions (API) for accessing Quanser hardware (devices and data acquisition cards).

The Quanser HIL SDK for the x86-based 64-bit Linux operating system provides access to the following devices:

• Quanser Qube-Servo 3
• Quanser QUBE Servo 2 - USB
• Quanser AERO
• Quanser QArm

To install the Quanser HIL SDK on x86-based 64-bit Linux:

• Copy all the files in the desired target directory onto the target.
• On the target computer, uninstall previous versions of the Quanser HIL SDK on the target by running the following command: sudo uninstall_hil_sdk
• On the target computer, go to the directory where you copied the files and run the following commands: chmod a+x setup_hil_sdk uninstall_hil_sdk sudo ./setup_hil_sdk
• Type "yes" (without quotes) in reponse to the license agreement prompt if you agree with the license.

The Quanser HIL SDK documentation and examples on x86-based 64-bit Linux:

• Documentation can be found under /opt/quanser/hil_sdk/help/index.html
