As you probably already know, we provide the UD Driver on Windows (http://labjack.com/support/ud/ud-setup) and the Exodriver on Mac and Linux (http://labjack.com/support/linux-and-mac-os-x-drivers). The Exodriver is user-level C code that depends on libusb (also user-level C), so looking at that source may help you.

First, you need to ask some fundamental questions about the capabilities of your operating system. The most important question is does it support USB host operations? If it does, you're in business. If not, you'll have to get that working first.

Now, to answer your questions:

We don't have any documentation about how to write your own driver, but we do give you everything you need to know. In the case of the U3, you're going to want to grab a copy of the User's Guide PDF (http://labjack.com/support/u3/users-guide) as well as the updated version of section five with can be downloaded as a PDF (http://labjack.com/printpdf/book/export/html/402).

Section 2.1 of the User's Guide has all the details about USB you need. This section is important for figuring out which devices are LabJacks, and which endpoints to direct your bulk transfers.

After you get a USB open, write, read, and close, you are ready to work with section five of the User's Guide. This section describes the bytes needed to be written to a device, and what to expect back from the read.

To find out the cost of any of LabJack's products, simply got to labjack.com add the items to your cart and click "View Cart". From there, simply fill in the "Estimated shipping cost" form and click "Calculate". This will present with with all the shipping options and their estimated cost.

As for time, most in-stock items ship the same day and should arrive within the timeframe of your selected shipping method.

You may also want to consider one of our international distributors, if the cost of shipping becomes prohibitive. You can find a list of our distributers on the General Ordering Info page (http://labjack.com/content/general-ordering-information).

good documentation.

>We don't have any documentation about how to write your own driver,
