LabJack Device Driver
Learn how to acquire data from and control LabJack devices using Synnax.
The Synnax Driver supports reading and writing data from LabJack devices. This page will walk you through the steps to start acquiring data from your LabJack devices using the Driver.
Supported Devices
Synnax supports reading and writing data to all LabJack T-Series devices that are supported by the LJM Library.
Currently, only T-Series LabJack devices are supported by Synnax. If you are interested in using Synnax with other devices, please contact us.
Supported Operating Systems
The Synnax Driver supports Linux, Windows, and macOS machines that have the LJM library installed. The Driver will not be able to connect to external devices when running within a containerized environment (even if that container is running on a supported OS).
Installation
Every instance of the Synnax Core comes with the Synnax Driver embedded inside, which will automatically detect LabJack devices connected to the same host machine as the Core.
The Driver can also be installed as a separate binary to acquire data from LabJack devices on host machines separate from the Synnax Core.
Installing LJM
The LabJack LJM library must be installed for the Driver to communicate with your LabJack devices.
If you have a Synnax Driver already running before installing LJM, you’ll need to restart the Driver for so it can recognize the LJM installation.
