LCG is a suite of command-line programs to perform electrophysiological experiments.
Detailed instructions about the installation of LCG can be found here.
In a nutshell, if you have a system with at least Comedi, you can install LCG by typing the following commands:
autoreconf -i
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
make
make install
We strongly recommend to install LCG in a local directory (for example in the user's home directory) instead of system-wide.
An additional option that you may want to pass to configure is --with-output-reset, which instructs the program to always reset the output of the DAQ card to zero whenever the program terminates.
Additional Python scripts can be installed by typing:
cd python
python setup.py build
python setyp.py install --prefix=$HOME/local
LCG also requires some environment variables, which can be set following the instructions this page.
LCG consists of a main executable, called lcg, which takes as arguments commands and related options.
A list of available commands can be obtained by typing
lcg help
To display information about each command, type:
lcg help command
lcg command -h
