+
+First "working" version which reads out waveforms.
+To compile:
+
+{{{
+   make clean; make
+
+}}}
+To select a channel, initialize, and read out a waveforem with
+automatic (random) trigger:
+
+{{{
+   ./drift.exe
+   drift> w 2 4          set channel number 4 (equals "Channel 1" on box)
+   drift> i 15           initialize digitizer, threshold = bit 15
+   drift> a              automatic capture of 1 waveform
+   drift> t              readout trace to file ''trace.dat'
+
+}}}
+You can then view the waveform using [http://www.gnuplot.info/ Gnuplot]
+Simply start gnuplot and enter the command ''''plot "trace.dat"'''.
+
+For triggered operation, enter the command ''''i <bit>''' where <bit> is
+a bit number from 1-12.  The trigger threshold will be 2**<bit>.
+For example, if <bit> is 9, then the trigger threshold will be 512.
+
+The command sequence for triggered operation:
+
+{{{
+  drift> i 9              for ezample
+  drift> n                start acquisition, wait for trigger
+  drift> t                read trace starting 150 samples before trigger point
+
+}}}
