Simple Data Logging

Utility functions and data structures for saving/printing application logs

Output time-indexed numeric variables or custom strings to a terminal or text file, in a flexible format defined by code, e.g:

"Custom string 1"
<time_stamp_0> <variable_0> <variable_1> <variable_2> <variable_3>
<time_stamp_1> <variable_0> <variable_1> <variable_2> <variable_3>
<time_stamp_2> <variable_0> <variable_1> <variable_2> <variable_3>
<time_stamp_3> <variable_0> <variable_1> <variable_2> <variable_3>
"Custom string 2"
<time_stamp_4> <variable_4>
<time_stamp_5> <variable_1> <variable_2> <variable_3>
<time_stamp_6> <variable_1> <variable_2> <variable_3>

Usage

On a terminal, get the GitHub code repository with:

$ git clone https://github.com/AeroTechLab/Simple-Data-Logging [<my_project_folder>]

With dependencies set, you can now build the library to a separate build directory with CMake:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

For building it manually e.g. with GCC in a system without CMake available, the following shell command (from project directory) would be required:

$ gcc data_logging.c -I. -shared -fPIC -o libDataLogging.{so,dll}

Documentation

Descriptions of how the functions and data structures work are available at the Doxygen-generated documentation pages
