liborphy project is an orphy hardware's data acquisition library for GNU/Linux.

Orphy GTS is a data acquisition hardware from Micrelec that is used in many french high schools.

It's basically a box with analog and digital inputs/output channels, linked to the computer with a serial port. It's mainly used in Physics experimental manipulation, for instance to mesure the tension during a capacitor charging and discharging in a self (electric oscillations).

liborphy is a library that provides functions for easy access to an Orphy (currently, only Orphy GTS model) hardware. It is written in C and distributed under the terms of the GNU LGPL license.

Here are some key features of "liborphy":
full dialog with OrphyGTS (all commands can be sent)
functions for doing acquisition on one or more analogic input channels simultaneously easily
OrphyGTS Text mode and Quick mode are supported

What's New in This Release:
new OGTS_StopEA function: stops a running acquisition launched using OGTS_StartEA
simulation mode: simulates an Orphy device for testing purpose
packaging: now creates a 'orphy.pc' pkg-config file and uses automake1.6
timing fix in OGTS_StartEA (time between two acquisitions)
