Full documentation

The LJFuse homepage has the complete documentation.

Requirements

• A U3, U6, or UE9 over USB with the latest firmware. The U3 requires 1.26; the U6 requires 1.15; and the UE9 requires control firmware 2.13 and comm firmware 1.5.
• LabJackPython
• Exodriver
• On Mac OS X, LJFuse requires MacFUSE. On Linux, LJFuse uses the kernel’s fuse implementation.

Running

Plug in a U3, U6, or UE9 and run:

  
$ python ljfuse.py
  

On Mac OS X, it will print

  
$ python ljfuse.py
Making directory root-ljfuse for LJFuse
Mounting LJFuse at root-ljfuse.
When done, eject it from the Finder or run `umount LJFuse' (without quotes).
$
  

On Linux, it will print

  
$ python ljfuse.py 
Making directory root-ljfuse for LJFuse
Mounting LJFuse at root-ljfuse.
Unmount it with `fusermount -u root-ljfuse' (without quotes).
$
  

In either case, change to the `root-ljfuse’ directory and look around. There are `README.txt’ files in every subdirectory with context-specific help.

  
$ cd root-ljfuse/
$ ls
HOW_TO_UNMOUNT.txt  My U6/     README.txt
  

Example use

Here’s how to read AIN0 and set FIO0 to digital output high on a U6 named “My U6”:

  
$ cd "My U6/connection/"
$ cat AIN0
0.461
$ echo 1 > FIO0

LJFuse is built using fusepy. It’s simple and doesn’t get in your way. MacFUSE on Mac OS X makes it easy to set the volume name and icon of the filesystem.
