This is a program designed to steer the hardware on HGCAL sensor testing setups, record data in user-definable routines and store them. It is interfaced to [HexPlot](https://gitlab.cern.ch/CLICdp/HGCAL/HGCAL_sensor_analysis) for display of recorded data in geometrical shapes.

## About this Readme
The following lists some advice and features to implement as well as already implemented features, but is not intended to document the entire program. Every VI has a documentation string attached, which shows up when hovering with the mouse and activating the help window (ctrl + h). HexDAQ is implemented as a LabVIEW state machine. If you do not know what this is, read it up before trying to understand the implementation.

### Dependencies
* LabVIEW 2016 (32 bit): 64 bit will fail loading dlls. Older versions do not have the channel features, which allow data exchange between loops. LabVIEW 2017 is not backwards compatible.
* drivers: The instrument drivers required for this program to run are distributed in the archive `instr.lib.zip`. Place the content of into the `instr.lib` directory of your LabVIEW installation (something like `C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2016\instr.lib`) to make LabVIEW aware of them.
