Linux support for TiePie engineering measurement instruments is currently under development. At this moment we have a programming library available.
Contents
Programming library: libtiepie
Libtiepie is a library for using TiePie engineering USB oscilloscopes on a Linux based PC. Libtiepie uses the LibUSB 1.0 library for interfacing the USB bus. Our instruments can be used from userspace, you only need root privileges for installation. Libtiepie is still under development, it will support our complete range of USB oscilloscopes.
Until version 1.0.0 the interface may change.
