Re: Lua used as scripting language in test instrumentation

[Graham Henstridge <graham@...>]

Hi

We also, will soon be releasing a mobile high-speed data acquisition  
unit that extensively uses Lua scripting for configuration, data  
manipulation, coms management and cgi scripts. It is nice to see this  
acceptance in the instrumentation field - in some senses a return to  
Lua's roots!

We would be very interested in seeing Lua become the common thread in  
integrating measurement components. Hopefully we will be active  
contributors to the process.
