Lab::Measurement::Installation - Installation guide for Lab::Measurement
Since Lab::Measurement does not contain any device driver code itself, its installation is pretty straightforward. However, before you can actually use it, you will have to install a driver binding back-end, such as Lab::VISA or Linux-GPIB, plus its dependencies. Please see the documentation of these packages for more details.
Install Strawberry Perl. If you want to use NI-VISA, see the comments on supported perl versions in Lab::VISA's installation guide
Install gnuplot (not mandatory)
Download, extract and put it somewhere
Add directory containing pgnuplot.exe to path: My Computer => Properties => Advanced => Environment Variables
pgnuplot.exe
Build and install:
cpanm Lab::Measurement
If you need the NI-VISA backend for your instruments follow Lab::VISA's installation guide
Have fun!
Install cpanminus, make, gcc and gnuplot (you can use your package manager).
If you want to use GPIB, you need the Linux-GPIB drivers, library and Perl bindings. See the short installation and configuration guide in Lab::Measurement::Backends.
Install Lab::Measurement (as root):
If you want to install Lab::Measurement into your home directory you can use the local::lib package.
