Visual Servoing Platform  version 3.3.0 under development (2020-02-17)
testComedi.cpp

This example shows how to retrieve data from a sensor connected to a DAQ board. He we have 1 signe main threads that acquires physical values at 100 Hz (10 ms) and records data in recorded-physical-data-sync.txt file.
