I tried "data acquisition" linux and got: comedi - http://www.comedi.org/ which seems to be pretty healthy, but I'm not sure if it's what you're after. linuxlab and samplin, which seem to be abandoned. of course, if you want to consider commercial software, there's also the well regarded labview: http://www.ni.com/linux/ Here's a page devoted to links, largely h/w and drivers it seems (no mention of usb) http://www.csrri.iit.edu/~lavender/linux_daq.html Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
